Do #Barbie and #Ken ever get old? No! At least not in the perfect #Barbieland! How does it work from the chemical point of view? Degradation of poly(vinyl chloride)–used to make #Barbie heads-was studied in our recent paper published in #HeritageScience at rdcu.be/dhVWu

So you thought #Cellophane was just for wrapping your sandwiches in? Think again. In 1933 starlets were dressing in it for movie chorus lines. It was a 'Fashion of the Future' apparently

Its #tooltime here at CCI-CHIN @CdnHeritage & @ParksCanada learning about everyones tips, tricks, and techniques... @Jenny_Conserv uses #MOMS sticks to sample pigments without having to take tons of sample
I got to work on a #jacksonpollock 😍 Probably one of the most rewarding and challenging objects I've had the pleasure of working on! #artconservation #heritagescience #modernart facebook.com/cci.conservatio…
