About The Brummie Pre-Raphaelite: A Celebration of Edward Burne-Jones

Come celebrate the Birthday of Birmingham’s very own Pre-Raphaelite – Edward Burne-Jones – lets take a closer look at the art he created, his impact on the Pre-Raphaelite movement and the city itself.

We will be following in the footsteps of one of Burne-Jones super fans – Bernard Sleigh, a student from the School of Art in the early 20th century. Sleigh was so moved by Burne-Jones' The Star of Bethlehem, he laid flowers in front of the painting every year on 28th August. To honour this, join us in making decorative paper flowers to place at the foot of the painting.

This, and more:

Large scale drawing sessions with the Artist Tat Vision
Guided views of The Star of Bethlehem within closed gallery spaces
Edward Burne-Jones Spotlight tours in the Museum’s Pre-Raphaelite galleries and beyond! Including some of Bernard Sleigh’s works within the collection.
