Members Preview: Splash! A Century of Swimming and Style
Join us on Thursday 27 March 2025 and be the first to explore this major exhibition celebrating our enduring love of water. Dive into design’s role in shaping our relationship with swimming over the past 100 years — both in the water and beside it.
Prepare for your visit
Keep an eye on your members bi-weekly e-newsletter for your invisitation to our latest exclusive exhibition preview.
This exhibition will chart the century that followed, right up to the role of swimming in modern life and how it has influenced and subverted our ideas of autonomy and agency, and sport and style. Visitors will discover the full spectrum of the design of swimming — from sports performance to fashion and architecture.
