THE Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth has announced that it is reopening to the public on Wednesday May 19, almost 126 years to the day that the original Brontë Museum opened in 1895. The Museum will mark the reopening after lockdown with two new exhibitions from celebrated ceramic artist Layla Khoo and Isabel Greenberg, the illustrator and writer behind the Brontë inspired graphic novel ‘Glass Town’. ‘Contemplating Hope’ by Layla Khoo is the first of two new exhibitions to take place in the Museum and will be in situ from May 2021 to May 2022. Khoo is a multimedia 3D artist, specialising in ceramics that respond to ideas, events or collections of objects. ‘Contemplating Hope’, which was planned to take place before Covid, will feature a new, carefully crafted ceramic vessel each month into which visitors can put a slip of paper on which they have written their hopes and dreams.
