Audio Guide
Sir William Holburne started this collection of fine art in the 19th century, and it has since grown to include many historic pieces from renowned artists, especially those who were locals or whose work related to Bath. The building, gloriously set at the top of Great Pulteney Street in the midst of the Sydney Pleasure Gardens, was originally a hotel in the late 18th century, but was transformed into the museum in 1916. Holdings include Holburne's collection of silver and porcelain, excellent examples of period furniture, a Schantz Fortepiano, and a harp dating from 1802. The many paintings include landscapes by Guardi and Turner, and portraits by Bath artist, Gainsborough. Special events include lectures and concerts. Visits to the library are by appointment. A gift shop offers postcards, cards, and small gifts. A teashop provides refreshments. Admission: £3.50; children £1.50
