Meet the artist face to face.

The Expo Museum's temporary exhibition, "A Date with Beauty - William Morris and the British Arts & Crafts Movement," is jointly presented by the Shanghai Expo Museum and the V&A Museum in the UK. The exhibition features 123 selected items, reflecting the British Arts & Crafts Movement led by William Morris between 1890 and 1920. 🌟Highlights: William Morris (1834–1896) was a renowned 19th-century British designer, poet, craftsman, and socialist activist. His design philosophy emphasized the combination of practicality and aesthetics, focusing on the natural texture of materials and craftsmanship. His thoughts and practices laid the foundation for later design movements, and he is still regarded as the "father of modern design." Compared to eccentric painters, his works are more accessible and full of design elements.👍👍👍
