BEWDLEY Museum is to stage a major new art exhibition next month, featuring works highlighting the lives of four extraordinary Victorian women. The Macdonald Sisters, due to open on Monday, May 17, tells the stories of Alice, Georgiana, Agnes and Louisa Macdonald. Born into an unremarkable Victorian family, they went on to forge connections with some of the most celebrated artists and thinkers of their time including William Morris, Ford Maddox Brown and John Ruskin. Alice was mother to Rudyard Kipling; Georgiana married the Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones; Louisa was the mother of Bewdley’s own three-time prime Minister Stanley Baldwin; and Agnes married Edward Poynter, artist and President of the Royal Academy.
