Traveler reviews
Stuart Johnson
★★★★★Edited 2 years agoFantastic museum just a few minutes' walk from the city centre. Staff are friendly, helpful, and informative. The museum has a vast collection of artefacts from former Bath Businesses, laid out in a spacious informative way like workshops would have been at the time. You can switch on some of the big equipment and see it spring to life. It's fascinating to see what was going on in the past and the quality craftsmanship. There is even a little self-serve coffee area. Lovely museum, I went just after it opened, so it was quiet for me to amble along in peace. It was definitely worth a visit to compare what the workers were up to after visiting the Georgian Splendour of the City.

★★★★★a month agoI've visited this museum a couple of times, most regrettably not recently but it really is, just as others have said, an absolute gem. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
