Today we launch Inventing the 21st century, an exhibition celebrating groundbreaking inventions from the last ten years.

The exhibition traces the stories of inventions from the moment of inspiration to developing a product. Featured inventions include Dyson's Airblade bladeless fan and the Lifesaver water purifier.
