Hidden gem

What it is

Museum tags: Art; Biographical; Ceramics and craft; Design

A museum dedicated to William Morris, the iconic arts & crafts designer, in what was once his family home. It displays the largest collection of Morris’ work in the world, including textiles, furniture, and art. Galleries cover every aspect of his life, including his politics, his influences, how craftsmean created his designs, and a mock-up of the Morris & Co Oxford Street shop. It also hosts temporary exhibitions.


My personal take on
A great little gem in North London. I’ve never been particularly interested in William Morris, but the museum pulled me in – I learned loads about both his work and the social context that sparked the Arts and Crafts movement.

One of the highlights is the workshop gallery, which gives a real sense of how Morris’s studios operated. And naturally, there’s Morris print galore throughout. The shop is excellent too, as you’d expect.
