American Museum & Gardens

The American Museum & Gardens is truly unique. Founded in 1961 to bring American history and cultures to the people of Britain and Europe, it is the only museum of Americana outside the US. Set within a Grade 1 listed Georgian manor house on the edge of Bath, the Museum houses fascinating period rooms and a remarkable permanent collection of folk, decorative arts and cultural objects, showing the diverse and complex nature of American traditions, focused primarily on the 14th-20th centuries. A separate Exhibition Gallery offers two showcase exhibitions per year, covering a diverse range of subjects including fashion, photography, art, American culture and family-friendly shows. Throughout the year theres a programme of exciting events offering concerts, outdoor theatre, family activities, workshops, talks, a wellbeing programme, a Christmas illuminations trail, and new in 2022, a three-day summer festival of music, comedy, and food. The Museum is situated within a Georgian estate...
