It challenges perceptions of plastics as disposable by showcasing their value in collections and museums, including high-value items like certain Barbie dolls. The stone section presents a case study on poulticing, a method to protect objects from damage. The wood section examines the conservation of the Mary Rose, a Tudor warship, detailing the chemical processes involved in preserving its hull and artifacts.
