About this place

This is the best place in Bath to learn about the city's Georgian architecture. Models and maps provide a revealing introduction to the transformation of the city in the 18th century and the design of the buildings. Some displays focus on details while wandering the streets such as how doorways can vary on otherwise uniform terraces and how the backs of houses are often a visual mishmash the ostentatious Georgians only cared how the front facades appeared. Until 4th June, 2017 there's an exhibition on the Royal Crescent to mark the 250th anniversary of its creation.
