Of exotic chewing gum and curious pigments

It’s British Science Week, and the National Heritage Science Forum is contributing to it by sharing examples of heritage science from a range of different organisations. The first post to come out today is "Of exotic chewing gum and curious pigments - a tale of scientific discoveries and team work". The post showcases the barniz de Pasto table cabinet from the Victoria and Albert Museum collections, and celebrates the collaboration between different heritage institutions.
