Photograph of section of knitwear by Susie Freeman showing tablets consumed during an average life span.The Living and Dying Gallery at the British Museum is always interesting to look at as it combines elements to shock, beautiful cultural symbols and rituals, clever presentation with quite shocking facts.
The most shocking exhibit is the innovative knitwear display by Susie Freeman demonstrating the 14,000 tablets of medication we in the west consume in an average lifetime. It is in a huge display case and along the sides of the two pieces, one depicting a man's life and the other a woman's typical usage are the items used in daily life.
