| It's New to Our Visitor Centre |

We are thrilled to have a new art installation at our Visitor Centre: The interactive art installation ‘lost'n'found' by German artist liina klauss. This colourful artwork is made up entirely from marine debris presented in a traditional hawker stall (dai-pai-dong) inviting you to see waste in a radically new way! Now shown at our centre for an entire year starting April 2015, giving you enough opportunity to discover and rethink the waste that ends up in our oceans, enough time to take pictures and tell your friends about it.
