About Fantasy to Fabrication: 19th Century Design Exhibition at Mount Stuart

Listed Under Exhibitions Events / Family and Kids Events / History Events

This exhibition celebrates the imagination, eclecticism, and creative process of acclaimed 19th-century designers William Burges, Horatio Walter Lonsdale, Robert Weir Schultz, Sir Robert Lorimer and William Morris. Assembling spectacular examples of jewellery, furniture, watercolours, books, stained glass, silver and other metalwork - it will explore the Bute family legacy of commissioning and collecting Arts & Crafts and Gothic Revival masterpieces.

Curated in-house, this is the first time that many of these treasures from the Bute Collection will be exhibited publicly, paired with several rarely seen objects on loan from national institutions.
