More than five million Lego pieces were lost from the Tokio Express off Land's End in 1997, when a freak wave knocked 62 containers into the sea.
Pieces have been washing up along Cornish beaches ever since, and have been found as far away as the Channel Islands, Ireland, Holland and Denmark.
The tale is being told at an exhibition at the Royal Cornwall Museum.
The Lego Group said the spill was an "unfortunate accident". 🐉
