See the Exhibition—"Beauty for a Lifetime": William Morris and the British Arts & Crafts Movement

"Beauty for a Lifetime" is an exhibition currently underway at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center. William Morris (March 24, 1834–October 3, 1896) was born in Walthamstow, England. He was a 19th-century British designer, poet, early socialist activist, and self-taught craftsman. The furniture, textiles, stained glass, wallpaper, and other decorative items he designed, supervised, or crafted himself sparked the Arts & Crafts movement, transforming the popular tastes of the Victorian era. This exhibition mainly features works by leading figures of the British Arts & Crafts movement. It is well worth seeing.
