Traveler reviews
Ollie Fitton-Cook
★★★★★5 months agoNicely put together and surprisingly extensive museum of Georgian upper and lower class life, with multimedia displays to help illustrate the era. As a Bath resident, I’ve been here a couple of times and I think it’s somewhere that should be more popular as it really helps to explain Bath’s more recent history. The staff were very accommodating and explained everything about our visit. Tickets last for one year.
