Building of Bath MuseumThe fascinating story of Georgian Bath is wonderfully presented
by the Building of Bath Museum. The Museum is the natural place to
start any sightseeing expedition of Bath. It is housed in the
Gothic-styled Countess of Huntingdon's Methodist Chapel, which was
built in 1765 and renovated in 1984 by the Bath Preservation Trust.
Inside, visitors are treated to a unique exhibition, which
describes how Bath developed from a small provincial spa to the
most fashionable resort in Georgian England. Using models, maps,
paintings, reconstructions, live crafting demonstrations and
hands-on exhibits, including a touch-screen computer, a visit to
the museum is an informative and entertaining experience. Budget
about two hours to take it all in.
