Designing a Moment: The London 2012 Cauldron will aim to tell the design story of the Cauldron from its preparatory stages through to the main event.
The Cauldron on display will be composed of the original steel stems alongside test versions of the copper petals.

After the Games, the original 164 petals were sent to each of the competing countries, where delegates were asked to pose for a picture of their petal in its new home.
The images were sent to Heatherwick Studio, which will share them as part of the exhibition.

The exhibition, which opens on 25 July, honours not just the work of Heatherwick Studio but also other partners including Drinkall Dean, which has worked on interpretation design, creative engineers Stage One, and metalworking experts Contour Autocraft.
Heatherwick says, ‘The Cauldron design was kept secret until it was revealed at the opening ceremony, which created an engaging and engrossing experience for many.
