About

Start your Artwalk at Wakefield Museum with the brand-new exhibition, Plastic Fantastic?. Enjoy special curator-led introductions to the gallery.


Discover the history, impact and future of plastics. Consider their role in our lives and their effect on the environment. Admire vibrant objects from a time when plastic promised a better life. Find out what you can do to help the plastic problem today.


Drop in to the museum from 5 to 7pm to explore the exhibition and meet the curator. Plus, discover even more from the museum’s remarkable collection of colourful mid-20th century plastic homewares with special object handling opportunities.


Curator introductions to the exhibition and object handling will run until 6:45pm.


Explore the full Artwalk Wakefield programme on their website.


The ‘Plastic Fantastic?’ exhibition is supported by The Exhibitions Group.
