Fancy a stroll back through time, taking in the atmosphere of Victorian industry and innovation? The recreated scenes of Bath's industrial revolution workplaces are, frankly, stunning. This place really does satisfy for a good couple of hours.

An excellent museum that shares the rich commercial history of Bath. The founding of this museum dates to a key time (mid 70s) in industrial heritage preservation in the UK. As a museum curator/manager/trustee and accreditation mentor I found this to be an authentic and enjoyable museum. If you’re in Bath, living or visiting, please visit and support.Great volunteer on reception when I visited on 30th July at 1pm. 😀
