More than 14,000 objects collected, created or customized by British hobbyists are shown together for the first time in the largest ever exhibition exploring the UK's hobbies.
Titled "Come As You Really Are," the exhibition was conceived by artist Hetain Patel.
Collector items on show include around 4,000 My Litte Pony toys and curated plastic bag, cigarette pack and typewriter collections.
The objects have been loaned by hundreds of people of all ages and backgrounds from across the country, who responded to a nationwide call to members of the public to share their free time interests and activities.
The exhibition, held in Croydon's Grants Building, opens on July 18 and runs through October 20.
