BBC One came to the museum on Saturday, to filmAntiques Road Trip with Catherine Southon Antiques. Here are Patrick Cook and Catherine with the Citroen DS she arrived in and the 1955 Willerby Vogue caravan that lives here.
Noticed that there's a Boring Conference in London on 7 May. I suppose there might be a bit of Bakelite in it.

Leo caught in the act. He's cleverer than he looks. And how appropriate for a cat to be reading The Independent.

The Duralite Bakelite Coffin is back at the Bakelite Museum after spending the winter in Bristol Museum & Art Gallery, where it was seen by 60,000 people as part of Death: the Human Experience. If you missed it there and/or you've been inspired to experience some more Bakelite, come and see it surrounded by other interesting early plastic objects in a beautiful watermill in the Somerset countryside.
