Purchased some fantastic original Japanese Art. The little shop has some wonderful items inside. Definitely worth popping in!

Excellent museum dedicated to East Asia. It spans on 4 floors. Additionally there was an English Judo dedicated room. No need for pre-booking. Was excellent choice when you turn up in Bath witout any other museum bookings. Friendly people.

A very nice exhibition! The museum is small but beautiful! My favourite part about the place is the friendly volunteers and staff, it is a great pleasure to talk to them. I will definitely go back to this museum before I leave the UK, really well worth a visit (if you are interested in Asian culture)

Absolutely gorgeous, the history and art is unlike anything I've ever seen before in person. Also has an elevator, and onsite toilets. Their gift shop is amazing! Photography allowed, just not flash. Spy my favourites.

It is such a shame that they had to close the first floor due to major damage done by intruders. The collection feels definitely smaller because of it but it is not the museum’s fault at all. It is probably the cheapest museum in Bath so I would say definitely go take a look and help them get back on their feet!

This is a real gem in Bath. Excellent displays of beautiful ceramics. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I was shocked and horrified to hear they'd suffered a break-in and a number of irreplaceable pieces were stolen. More people need to visit to help raise funds.

Compact and welcoming; an unexpected gem in historic Bath - with an interesting back-story to its foundation. A small but lovingly assembled menagerie of East Asian artifacts, some dating back to the 6th century BC. Slightly tired interior, now in need of a little makeover - that said, you're not there to look at the wallpaper.
