Exhibition · York

John Flaxman is one of those names that shaped British art and design — Wedgwood ceramics, Turner's own influences — without ever becoming a household one, and this exhibition puts that right with over 70 loans from collections across the UK, including works by Turner and Blake. It's a proper autumn culture fix in a gallery that's easy to get to and easy to love.
Since it runs clear through to January, there's no rush — perfect for pairing with a York weekend or coming back to on a quiet Tuesday.
