Holburne Museum Of Art

A great museum with a fascinating collection set in a beautiful house and park. Great cafe too - staff friendly and helpful, good range of snacks.

Great little museum / art gallery in Bath. Excellent displays and good tea room.

Staff on front desk are more concerned about whether you are gift aiding your entrance fee than anything else. This museum used to be free for all. with millions of money in the bank I question the need to charge an entrance fee when this is suppose to be a charity.

An attractive, well cared for and interesting museum. Friendly and well informed staff. Very much enjoyed the Canaletto museum. Nice tea room at the back (though ordering on an app is a bit of a pain!). Well worth a visit.

Lovely on the outside the inside has interesting items but one Gallery felt more like an over crowded antique shop so you really couldn't see the exhibit I its glory .

Great museum and collection, with world class temporary exhibitions. A small venue but all the better for that and good value.

Warning: Google Maps and the museum's website say they open at 10 on Sundays. They don't open till 11. Fortunately the park is beautiful and it had stopped raining...

Not my usual thing but a nice collection well laid out. Liked the Venice paintings set out like a tour of the city

Always great to visit. Great collection and gets superb visiting works.
Highly recommended.

Excellent little museum with a wonderful Canaletto exhibition at the moment. Cafe is nice but difficult to get into with current restrictions

"The Holburne Museum is committed to opening up the enjoyment of art to people of all ages and from every walk of life. The Holburne was founded in 1882 with the gift of Sir William Holburne’s collection of 16th and 17th century Italian and Dutch paintings, silver, sculpture, furniture, porcelain and diverse objets d’art. That founding gift has since been added to with a collection of 18th century paintings by such artists as Gainsborough, Lawrence, Ramsay, Stubbs and Zoffany. Set within the historic Sydney Pleasure Gardens the Holburne's programme of exhibitions, commissions and events sets

We would not recommend the cafe , poor food , grumpy staff . Very disappointed ☹️ not spotless

It is a wonderful place to lose yourself in history. The museum is laid out really well, with lots of little nooks and crannies to find hidden treasures.

Amazing place to visit, beautiful museum and the food was sublime 👌🏻

Not a bad fulfillment of my walk down the long street. The Op Art exhibit is going on right now and it's sort of cool but small for the price I paid. But I got the package that included cafe food so that softened the blow of the cost a bit.

The rest of the gallery has a few gems but I'm a little overwhelmed with the ostentatious framing.

My 5 year old son and I had a really horrible experience at the Holburne museum today.


My son and I were on the first floor in the large exhibition space admiring the white paper style fabric installation when he tried to use the computer there which is for public use. This was when an older lady with a shoulder length grey bob who presumably was a volunteer ran towards him, grabbed his arm and dragged him away and telling him severely off. To be honest I was in a state of shock and so was my son.

A costly cafe in a ceramic carbuncle with some second class culture.
Don't bother with much except the paintings and Sir William's collection.
The cafe is costly and the new extension quite dire admittedly not as bad as the Southgate Centre but nonetheless..

Stunning art gallery with an emphasis on eighteenth century painting and definitely worth a visit if you are a fan of Gainsborough or landscapes as they are well represented. It isn't very big and doesn't take long to walk around. There is a small shop selling art books and postcards.
