Dimitar Bayraktarov
★★★★★a month agoThe museum packs a punch given its compact size. It's unbelievable the majority of the artifacts are as old as they are given their incredibly well preserved state and craftsmanship. It's a quick visit given how small it is but it's definitely worth it. The shop has some great finds as well - mostly Japanese inspired.

★★★★★11 months agoA really fascinating museum that we. Have visited a few times when in Bath. We really enjoy the interactive room and the Lego trail. The Blossom exhibition was beautiful and thought provoking. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Bath, under 18’s get in free!
