The Morgan Library & Museum will present Arresting Beauty: Julia Margaret Cameron, a major exhibition exploring the revolutionary work of one of photography’s most pioneering and influential figures. On view from May 30 through September 14, 2025, it brings together a remarkable selection of Cameron’s evocative portraits and staged compositions, offering a rare glimpse into the artistic vision of a woman who transformed photography into an expressive art form. Organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), London, the exhibition features works drawn from the V&A’s extensive holdings of nearly one thousand of Cameron’s photographs, which comprise the largest and most comprehensive collection of her work in the world. Arresting Beauty includes an array of Cameron’s most striking works, including her celebrated portraits of preeminent Victorians, allegorical tableaux, and a selection of her subjects inspired by literature and biblical themes. Also on view are pages from Cameron’s unfinished memoir, Annals of My Glass House.
