‘Mountains and plains and adventure’: William & May Morris and Iceland

New for 2024 visit our exhibition “Mountains and plains and adventure: William & May Morris and Iceland”. Celebrating the centenary of May Morris’s first trip to Iceland, the exhibition showcases previously unknown diaries, artifacts, and art reflecting the Morris family’s deep connection to Iceland. Visitors will discover May’s adventures and compare them with William Morris’s iconic visits. Curated by Dr. Kathy Haslam and Dr. Emily Lethbridge, the exhibition highlights themes of travel, culture, and legacy, featuring items from the Society of Antiquaries, the British Library, and more.

The exhibition is open on our public open days; Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Entrance to the exhibition is included with a general admission ticket to the house.
