We are surrounded by inventions in our daily lives but some have had more impact on the world than we might realise. This exhibition looks at inventions that have had major social, cultural and environmental impacts which have significantly changed how we live today.

From sugar and its link to the slave trade, the surprising history of the bicycle and the Walkman- the first personal music device, this exhibition asks which inventions have had the most impact in the world and why.
