Hidden Heroes

An interesting exhibition has opened at the Science Museum in Londen called “Hidden Heroes”. The exhibit celebrates those every day objects that most people take for granted. Examples include the paper clip, pencil, clothes pin, and the tea bag. My personal favorite in terms of simplity and usefullness is the rubber band which was patented in Britain in 1847 by Stephen Perry.

The complete list of items in the exhibit are as follows:
