April 2025 - March 2026: save the date and be part of this extraordinary celebration of Manx heritage.
Hi,
This is my first visit into the world of Archibald Knox. I know who he was but his work has not interested me until now, particularly his Celtic designs and as a Celticist his Celtic Design works have attracted my attention. I notice that the exhibition of his works in the Manx Museum have attracted the label "Order and Beauty". May I ask where that came from and its relevance to his work?
