A dress containing the DNA of plague bacteria and a necklace made from porcelain teeth have gone on show as part of an exhibition in Leeds. The raw silk "plague dress", made by artist Anna Dumitriu, is on display at the Thackray Museum of Medicine as part of its Fragile Microbiomes exhibition. It is stuffed with lavender, which was used to cover the smell of plague victims, and dyed with walnut husks. The collection includes sculptures and installations blending art and science.
