We were warmly welcomed by the helpful Charlotte, who was extremely helpful, and who explained how to get the most from our visit. The exhibits were well laid out with thoughtful information boards. The museum has recently re-opened and helps visitoes and locals alike understand and appreciate the development of Bath. Well worth a visit.

Small but very interesting museum. Shows detail on how the multi storey buildings in Bath were constructed. Views of underground vaults built to raise the city streets. Great variety of tools and displays of construction methods. A great place to visit after touring Crescent home #1.

This museum offers a compact overview of Bath's architectural history. It nicely integrates several video films, maps, and a huge 3D model of the city to make its presentation attractive. Signage is succinct and easily readable. The museum is keen to get feedback to this project under work. My simple reflections are that it would be interesting to extend the timeline. Little is said about city architecture after WWII. For non-UK residents it would also be helpful to provide some more context. Not all foreigners will immediately associate the "Victorian era" with 1837-1901, and so forth. Make sure to include explanations of technical terms for the non-specialists, if your ambition is to reach them.

This museum is situated out of the main tourist centre of Bath and is contained in an old chapel. The receptionist was very helpful and directed me to the start of the exhibition. The museum is slightly old fashioned and contains a lot of exhibits in cabinets which are not always well lit. (There was a superb model of a house in Great Pultney Street but the exhibit wasn't lit!) There was a large model of the city again poorly lit, which could have done with some interactive facilities to hightlight buidlings, etc. There was a small section on wartime bomb damage but little or nothing about post- war development and why so many building weren't restored to their former splendour.
