"When you tap a pile of papers against your desk before pinning them together, you probably don’t consider the ingenuity that first propelled the lowly paperclip into production. Or when nestling an egg carton among groceries at the checkout counter, you may not routinely wonder how you would have juggled the eggs in jostling bags without the aid of a pressed fibre box. The exhibition Hidden Heroes: The Genius of Everyday Things draws your attention to the indispensable doodads we take for granted each day.
