In 1997, a rogue wave knocked 62 containers from a cargo ship off the coast of Cornwall. Five million pieces of lego were set adrift in the ocean, washing up on beaches across the southwest. This is the story of what was lost and what was learned about the ocean, its currents and pollution.

Who remembers combing the beaches for this lost lego, finding everything from tiny flowers to octopus and dragons? Pieces are still being found even now.

Join us this summer to explore our new exhibition, Adrift: Lost at Sea, from 11 July to 23 September.
