The Lady Lever Art Gallery will spotlight the talents of May Morris (1862-1938), one of the most pioneering women of the Arts and Crafts movement and daughter of the artist and designer William Morris, in a new exhibition.
May Morris: Crafting a Legacy (25 April to 1 November 2026) reveals May’s exceptional ability as a designer, maker, tutor, lecturer, editor and writer – and a socialist ahead of her time.
The exhibition will showcase May’s interests and talents across a selection of embroideries, wallpapers, designs, sketches, books, costume and jewellery. Developed in partnership with The William Morris Society, it will feature around 50 objects from museums and private collections across the UK – including the William Morris Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London – as well as items from National Museums Liverpool’s own collection.
