About

The ‘Jane Morris Museum’ is an ongoing art- and research project by Dutch artist Margje Bijl, devoted to the life of Pre-Raphaelite ‘muse’ Jane Morris (1839-1914). Margje Bijl’s multidisciplinary approach to Jane Morris reflects her own background, of a wide range of studies from fine art and photography to creative writing and psychology. Margje Bijl has created three solo exhibitions; called Reflections on Jane Morris (2010), A Memory Palace of Her Own (2014) and Looking for Janey (2024). Works from these solo exhibitions have also been shown during group exhibitions in England and the Netherlands.
