Bakelite Museum Seeks A New Home

MINEHEAD, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 31: Vintage Bakelite and plastic objects are seen at the Bakelite Museum, which is a vast collection of Bakelite objects and vintage plastics, in Williton near Minehead on October 31, 2017 in Somerset, England. The vintage plastics, from the earliest experimental materials to 1970s kitsch is the personal collection of Patrick Cook, and includes items such as radios, cameras, telephones and even a plastic vintage caravan, as well as non-plastic everyday objects from the early 20th century Bakelite era such as fridges, cookers, washing-machines and toasters. Creator and curator of the Bakelite Museum, Patrick Cook, who is a trained artist and sculptor, began his collection with a second-hand Bakelite radio in the 1960s and started the museum, originally as art installation, in the 1970s before moving it to the West Country in 1995. Established at the 18th Century watermill twenty five years ago, the museum, which was once voted the second dullest in the UK, is seeking a new home having outgrown its existing one.
