Discover the women who turned textiles into spaces for experimentation, expression and invention.
 
We visited Storehouse with Victoria Bradley, Curator in the Department of Performance, Furniture, Textiles and Fashion at the , and Tutor on the V&A/Royal College of Art History of Design programme, who shared some of their favourite textile designs featured in their new book, ‘Women Textile Designers’.
 
Spanning the Arts and Crafts movement to the present day, the book brings together the work of such pioneering designers as May Morris, Gunta Stölzl, Anni Albers, Lucienne Day, Althea McNish, Birgitta Hahn and Reiko Sudo.
 
Through a rich collection of patterns, fabrics and archival imagery, Women Textile Designers traces the changing role of textiles across interiors, fashion, theatre, public spaces and transportation, while exploring the growing opportunities for women as designers, entrepreneurs and leaders.

‘Through the countless words I have written about Susie, in song and prose, my prime concern has been to contain Susie’s fleeting nature. Yet, Susie remains as much a mystery to me now as when I first saw her’ Nick Cave
 
 For nearly three decades, Susie and Nick Cave have formed one of contemporary culture’s most compelling creative partnerships. Through music, fashion, art and profound personal loss, their relationship has become deeply intertwined with their creative work.
 
Nick Cave’s devotion to his wife Susie has found expression in the words, songs and lyrics he has written about her. Their long-standing friend, photographer Dominique Issermann, has spent years pursuing a similar endeavour, capturing Susie in a series of intimate, episodic images. Together, these words and photographs hold up a mirror to Susie: an ethereal and elusive presence who both beguiles and evades the lens.
 
With reflections from Nick and Susie throughout, this is a book to cherish: it affirms faith in art, enchantment, beauty and the strength of the human spirit. It is a visual ode to love, to family and to Susie.

What do hyenas, cats, molluscs and chimeras have in common? They all have a place in the strange and wonderful world of Surrealism.
 
In The Surrealist Menagerie, renowned zoologist and Surrealist artist Desmond Morris takes us on an uncanny journey through the animal kingdom, exploring the creatures that captivated some of the 20th century’s most revolutionary artists.
 
From Leonora Carrington’s hyenas and Salvador Dalí’s chimeras to Leonor Fini’s cats and Félix Labisse’s molluscs, animals became recurring motifs through which Surrealist artists explored psychology, transformation and the marvellous.
 
Drawing on his trained eye as a zoologist and his lifelong connection to Surrealism, Morris reveals the symbolism and stories behind some of modern art’s wildest creatures.
 
Published following Morris’s death in April 2026, The Surrealist Menagerie is his final book with Thames & Hudson – a fitting culmination of his extraordinary lifelong dialogue between science, art and the natural world.
 
Part bestiary, part art history, it is a witty and fascinating celebration of the uncanny relationship between the natural world and the Surrealist imagination.

‘The Surrealist Menagerie’ is out now.

‘The Bayeux Tapestry is an extraordinary portrayal of a pivotal moment in England’s history... It is impossible not to be impressed by it, both as a work of art and a historical record’ – Michael Lewis and David Musgrove

Nearly 1,000 years after it was made, the Bayeux Tapestry still has plenty of stories left to tell.

Famous for its vivid account of the Norman Conquest, the 70-metre-long embroidery offers glimpses of medieval life, from clothing and agriculture to shipbuilding and architecture, while leaving some of its most intriguing mysteries unresolved.

To mark the opening of the Bayeux Tapestry Exhibition at The British Museum today, we spoke to the authors of The Story of the Bayeux Tapestry – Michael Lewis, curator of the exhibition, and David Musgrove, content director of HistoryExtra magazine – about its mysteries, the misconceptions that surround it and why it continues to captivate.
