We've updated our De Morgan Collection display at Watts Gallery recently (see pic). We are now in the middle of planning the rehang of our own museum at Cannon Hall in Barnsley - reopening at Easter. Watch this space!

Four ethereal, robed women with flowing hair linger among misty clouds. Above them, a star glows in a pastel landscape. Inspired by Evelyn De Morgan, this dreamy scene evokes the mystical Daughters of the Mist from the De Morgan Collection.

Still on and worth seeing at Guildhall Art Gallery in the City of London: Evelyn De Morgan's swirling fabrics, and a surprising amount of bare flesh, as in Boreas and Oreithyia (1896, @demorganfoundation.bsky.social). Read about the show on our blog: art-exhibitions.blogspot.com/2025/05/evel...

Multi-Lustre Dodo Tile by William De Morgan (1898)

The dodo is an extinct flightless bird from Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. The dodo was popularised in the Victorian period by Lewis Carol who featured it in Alice in Wonderland. Typical application of these tiles would be in a nursery bathroom.

Reading about the accelerating decline in wild bird species in the UK made us think of this fellow.

Looking at the forecast for Tuesday in the UK "lovely weather for ducks" just about sums it up.

To protect them from too much light exposure we’re changing some of Evelyn De Morgan’s drawings in our Guildhall Art Gallery exhibition at the beginning of August. Next week is your last change to see them before they go back in store for some time.
