Join Daniel Robbins, Senior Curator on a tour of the Arab Hall exploring the artists and makers involved in its creation. Leighton’s vision was realised through the involvement of a highly skilled group, including potter William De Morgan, sculptor Edgar Boehm and designer Walter Crane. The tour will focus on each of their contributions, how they became involved and what they thought of the resulting Arab Hall.
