CLOSED: Plastic
People have been wild about plastic for decades and it is a necessary material for many things, but we are also drowning in plastic waste. The exhibition of the National Museum of Finland from 6 November 2018 to 6 January 2019 looks through the use and consumption of plastic over the course of decades and reminds people about how the recycling and reuse of plastic can solve many problems.
The exhibition PLASTIC reviews the topical and global environmental discussion about plastic. The problems created by plastic waste are a part of the modern day life that is documented by the National Museum of Finland. However, PLASTIC does not only focus on the problems. The exhibition also takes visitors on a journey with the people picking up trash in Hanko, follows the path of plastic trash to reuse as a raw material for industry and acquires items for the collections depicting the different sides of the phenomenon.
