The WaterSchool Classroom exhibition is dedicated to water in all its facets. Two rooms of the Biodiversity Gallery will be transformed into a ‘Cabinet of Curiosities’. Precursors of modern day museums, these cabinets of curiosities arose from collectors gathering objects and artefacts from many strands of artistic, scientific and intellectual endeavour in order to display them side by side ignorant of any categorisation or classification. Interactive and hands-on in nature, these collections actively invited exploration and curiosity, whilst simultaneously serving to tell a particular story about the world and its history as imagined by their collector.

Continuing this tradition, The WaterSchool Classroom exhibition presents a wide variety of works by invited artists, architects and designers united within the speculative framework of the WaterSchool. Within the exhibition, these serve as conversation starters, in order to instigate discussions on how dwelling, living and working could be rethought and even redesigned bearing water and its impact in mind.
