Birds, Beasts and Beyond at The Cuming Museum

Birds, Beasts and Beyond showcases a rarely seen group of ceramics made by the Martin brothers. Through the unconventional beauty of the ceramics the exhibition traces the brothers' progress as artists and reveals their extraordinary imaginations and eccentric personalities. Two of the iconic 'Wally Birds' lent from the British Museum join the many remarkable creations from Southwark's art collection that are being displayed to the public for the first time in over a century. They are shown alongside works by other artists from the Arts and Crafts period, including Evelyn and William de Morgan, John Ruskin and Walter Crane.
