Museum of Design in Plastics
Resource verified by SHCG editorial group
Host: The Arts University Bournemouth
Notes:
Comprising 9000 artefacts of predominantly 20th and 21st century mass produced design and popular culture, the items are selected specifically to support the academic courses taught at the University College. The collection was created to enhance student learning, providing access to international, historical and contemporary design examples ranging from c.1880 to the present day. The exhibits help to develop student critical awareness and understanding of design, manufacturing processes, materials, style, marketing and consumerism within relevant historical, social, cultural, political and economic contexts. The collection is complimented by the loan of the Plastics Historical Society Collection
