Exhibition Dates: 28 March - 17 August.

Open until 17 August 2025, 'Splash! A Century of Swimming and Style' celebrates our enduring love of the water over the last 100 years. The exhibition explores the full spectrum of the design of swimming - from sports performance and fashion, to architecture.

Across three in-depth sections that reflect the three locations in which we swim - the pool, the lido and nature - the exhibition dives into design’s role in shaping our relationship with swimming, both in the water and beside it.

Guest-curated by Amber Butchart, a dress and design historian and broadcaster known for her history segments on BBC One’s The Great British Sewing Bee.
