The Holburne Museum sits at the end of Great Pulteney Street in a beautiful Georgian building, once a hotel. It houses the collection of Sir William Holburne, featuring paintings by Gainsborough, Stubbs, and Turner, as well as silver, porcelain, and furniture. A modern glass extension by architect Eric Parry provides a striking contrast to the historic facade. Visitors can enjoy the elegant period rooms, the contemporary gallery space, and the serene garden café. The museum offers a intimate glimpse into Bath's artistic heritage.
