Memory in a Bottle comes to life at the stunning North Sea Observatory, perched on the edge of the Lincolnshire coast. With sweeping views of the sea and sky, this unique glass-fronted venue provides the perfect backdrop for sharing personal stories and coastal memories. Surrounded by the sounds of the shoreline and the ever-changing light of the horizon, gather to reflect, reminisce, and preserve the moments that shape our coastline.

Featuring 18 portraits and 8 landscapes, it captures personal memories from residents aged 11 to 88, spanning from Grimsby to Skegness. Each portrait is paired with a QR code linking to audio snippets of their stories.

The exhibition premieres at the North Sea Observatory before touring libraries across Lincolnshire throughout 2025.
