Summer Exhibition: Adrift: Lego Lost at Sea

11 July – 23 September

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. Adrift – Lego Lost at Sea is the story of what was lost and what was learned about the ocean, its currents and pollution.

The exhibition has been inspired by author, Tracey Williams whose book, Adrift: the curious tale of the Lego lost at sea shares Tracey’s personal story of beachcombing for Lego as well as other weird and not so wonderful objects washed in from the ocean.

Artist Rob Arnold also features in the exhibition with his awareness raising works such as a sculpture inspired by the Moai statues on Rapa Nui made from plastics collected from Cornish beaches. Read our full blog on this exhibition.

During this exhibition, you can:

• Learn more about the plastic that washes up on shore through the words of beachcombers like Tracey Williams
• Explore art and collections prompted by plastic pollution
• Join events exploring the exhibition’s themes
• Take part in ‘Plastic Soup’ – a programme of children’s activities inspired by Adrift
• And more!
