No. 1 Royal Crescent is a museum which has been decorated and furnished just as it might have been during the period 1776-1796. The rooms feature historic furniture, pictures and objects that reveal what life was like for Bath's fashionable residents - both upstairs and downstairs. Our new immersive experience brings the house to life through film and sound so that visitors can get a very real sense of what it would have been like to live there.
Lovely Museum spread over many floors and rooms of this former Georgian House. There are interactive screens and audio in some rooms, which is interesting. There is a great collection of artefacts, and the basement staff areas are especially well stocked with interesting displays and items. The great thing is that unlike a standard museum, this house is laid out as it would have been at a certain period. It is at the end of the Royal Crescent and next to Victoria Park, so close to other lovely places and easy to find. It's definitely worth a visit.
This museum was a good surprise. We were greeted by a member of the staff who was speaking French like us which was nice. She explained us things very well and it was interesting. Then we wandered by ourselves in the museum which was very pleasant. The house is beautiful and is a must see in the city. I also liked the view from the top of the house. I definitely recommend visiting it if you like old houses and are interested to see how was life in the area before.
Well appointed rooms with audio and visual story telling in most rooms, which was very engaging. A great peak into the lives of an upper class Georgian family. There is an app that provides additional information, although WiFi was inconsistent throughout the house. A small sign or poster outside each room would have served the same purpose. The storyline of the fictional family used throughout the rooms is interesting, but felt a bit incomplete. To find out each character's ending, you have to utilize a touch screen in the last room. As there was only one touch screen, this created a queue just to hear the ending. Again posters or print outs throughout the room or even having the information in the app would have been better.
Managed to buy tickets on the door which are limited. The rooms are beautifully re-created and there is immersive story of a georgian family which plays in each room, however there is no other information on furnishings or about the room which I felt there should be. I had a lovely visit however I felt the museum could benefit from a cafe as it currently doesn't have one.
It looked so beautiful. The green lawns were just next to it. There were quite a lot of groups with the guides and some beautiful ladies taking photos and videos. Didn't enter the building but just sat down and chill out to feel the wonderful world
Well worth a visit when in bath , this museum is set out like a home , on different floors of the house , you visit each room in turn and can listen to the householders via video screens and audio it's very well set out and you make your own way round the house following the footprints , we have 3 children ages 9 to 16 and they loved it.
