Further details
Lemn Sissay, award-winning poet, playwright, broadcaster, and one of the people behind the Christmas Day Project providing Christmas dinners for care leavers, donates to the museum a special button: one that when you press it tells you your talent.
Mary Roach, an American author of six New York Times best-sellers, TED talker, and winner of the American Association of Engineering Society's Engineering Journalism Award - an award where she was the only nominee, offers some NASA faecal simulate. This was made to test the earliest zero gravity toilet.
Griff Rhys Jones, actor, comedian, star of Not The Nine O'Clock News and Alas Smith And Jones, and a man who has named a road-gritter owned by Suffolk Highways named after him, provides the Museum with the River Lea. The river is home to London's only lighthouse, and the valley grows 75% of the country's cucumbers.
