It’s amazing who you meet travelling around the country visiting antiques auctions, shops, fairs and centres! This is Patrick Cook from The Bakelite Museum in the South West of England. Patrick is the biggest collector of Bakelite in the world! He has so many Bakelite objects (over 22,000!) that he set up a museum over 40 years ago to house his collection…find the museum online and you can go and visit

I met Patrick at AFS Auctions in Taunton, Somerset where he was buying Art Deco items. We’re going to keep in touch and I hope to visit the museum sometime soon to make a film!
