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.
Margje Bijl is the winner of Jacob Hartog Prize 2026. She was awarded with the art prize worth €3.000,- and a trio exhibition in Pulchri Studio, together with nominees Annemarie Petri and Pia Jaeyoon Kim. It will take place from February 20th till March 14th, 2027.
