Matthew Digby Wyatt (1820-77) was a Victorian figure with wide-ranging accomplishments as an architect, administrator, designer, artist, writer and connoisseur. He was a member of the distinguished Wyatt family of architects and artists. He worked with some of the leading figures of his day, including I. K. Brunel, George Gilbert Scott, Herbert Minton and Henry Cole, whilst Owen Jones was a lifelong friend.<\/p>\n
From the crucial role he played in project managing the Great Exhibition of 1851 to\u00a0 advising the South Kensington Museum on its collections at the end of his career, Wyatt was at the heart of mid-Victorian developments in architecture, design and museum display.<\/p>\n
