At present, the Enid Marx collection is displayed partly in a cabinet and on a screen in an area at the end of a long attic gallery displaying folk art paintings and furniture, and partly in a side room. Visitors are not clear where the Marx collection starts and finishes, how it relates to the folk art displayed near it, the significance of the collection of Marx’s own work, or her role in British design history. Some of the collection is kept in drawers which are currently inaccessible.

The re-display of the collection will create one room in which there is a focus on Marx's design and career, including a new printed guide for visitors (Room 1) and a second room which will be designed to reflect the domestic setting of Marx's original collection. More of the collection will be accessible and we will also improve the signage for and profile of the collection elsewhere at Compton Verney, including repositioning some of her collection of domestic ceramics in our coffee bar.
