HIDDEN HEROES – THE GENIUS OF EVERYDAY THINGS: New Science Museum exhibition reveals the genius in our midst

Hidden Heroes – The Genius of Everyday Things examines the inspiration involved in items whose design and purpose are so well matched that they remain uncelebrated, but heavily used, in the fabric of our lives. The exhibition runs from 9 November 2011 to 5 June 2012. (more…)
