Alexia From: Social History Curators Group email list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jessie Petheram Sent: 29 November 2016 11:16 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Preserving Lego This is an email sent via the SHCG List. If you reply to this message, your message will be sent to all the people on the list, not just the author of this message. ------------------------------- Good morning all, Earlier this year we were given a bust of Shakespeare made out of Lego to commemorate the 400th anniversary of his death (you may have noticed the odd celebration for this...) I'm wondering if any of you can advise how best to look after Lego - if you've got similar or related things in your collections, what's your approach with them? We don't have a lot of plastics in the collection, so it's quite a new area for me. I also strongly suspect the pieces have been glued together which presents a whole other conservation issue - Lego didn't provide us with very much information when it was dropped off one morning! Pictures here<http://collections.shakespeare.org.uk/search/museum/strst-sbt-2016-4-lego-bust-of-shakespeare/search/everywhere:lego-15357/page/1/view_as/grid>. Many thanks in advance for any advice.
