Det nye udstillingskoncept centrerer sig om en præsentation og opstilling af Medicinsk Museions samling af genstande fra psykiatriens verden, […]

Materialer af plast anvendes i stadig større omfang. Vi møder plast alle steder i vores hverdag og nye typer og former ser dagligt dagens lys. Plast kommer til at fylde mere og mere i museernes samlinger. Plast er ikke langtidsholdbart, mange typer er faktisk særdeles korttidsholdbare. Det stiller nye krav når museerne skal indsamle plastmaterialer til deres samlinger og prøve at bevare dem for fremtiden.
