The world’s largest exhibition of works by Archibald Knox opened at the Manx Museum today.
Born on the Isle of Man in 1864, Knox was profoundly inspired by the island’s natural beauty, as well as its Celtic and Norse heritage, elements that are evident in his designs, which are cherished and sought after worldwide.
‘KNOX: Order & Beauty’ offers a rare opportunity to delve into his enduring legacy, presenting a comprehensive collection of his work.
Archibald Knox Exhibition
The exhibition brings together more than 100 pieces from Manx National Heritage’s extensive collections, alongside 100 works from private lenders and museums across the British Isles including the V&A, Peartree Collection and Titus Omega.
Already attracting great interest both on and off island, it will form part of a wider ‘Isle of Knox’ campaign, supported by Visit Isle of Man, with associated events, walks, talks and workshops taking place later this year and in early 2026.
Admission to the exhibition is free, with donations welcome.
