Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery will stage an exhibition, Pre-Raphaelite Twilight: The Art of Edward Robert Hughes
in autumn 2015.
 (O god I want to go! I've been to the Birmigham Museum and seen their permanent Pre-Raphaelite installation, mainly there because Sir Edward Burne-Jones was a Birmingham resident, as were members of Black Sabbath)
