"...two of the rarest spirits of the Age."


Sir Edward Poynter,
President of the Royal Academy,
of William and Evelyn De Morgan

 

The De Morgan Centre  in south west London is a permanent home for work by William De Morgan, the Victorian ceramic artist and his wife Evelyn, the painter. The collection was formed by Mrs Wilhelmina Stirling, Evelyn's sister.

The Centre also houses an archive of papers relating to their lives and their circle, a reserve collection and a temporary exhibition space.  Visitors are welcome free of charge

Opening Hours and Address

 

 

Important Announcement

The De Morgan Centre is now closed to the public.

This is to prepare for the relocation of the collection to a new site, as yet to be confirmed.

Our current lease expires in January 2010, therefore closure in July 09, will allow for essential conservation work to take place on both the paintings and ceramics prior to moving and to prepare for an exciting opportunity to tour highlights of the collection.

The majority of the collection will still be available to view until mid-Autumn for group visits and research purposes by appointment only, please contact the curator for availability.

Please continue to visit the website for further updates on our relocation as well as information on the collection, tour dates and locations.

All enquiries should be directed to:

Claire Longworth,
Curator
