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.
Being There
Come and see our new exhibition Being There, featuring four recently acquired Thomas Gainsborough portraits alongside 18 British contemporary artists working in portraiture today. Selected by guest curator Ingrid Swenson MBE, the exhibition is the first in The Gallery at No.1 Royal Crescent’s ambitious new programme of contemporary art exhibitions.
Bloomberg Connects
We are thrilled to launch a new guide on Bloomberg Connects, the free arts and cultural app created by Bloomberg Philanthropies. Along with our sister museum the Herschel Museum of Astronomy, we are currently one of the only museums in Bath to offer guides on the app. The Bloomberg Connects app, available for download from Google Play or the App Store, makes our museum accessible for onsite visits through photo, audio and video features. We also have devices that visitors can borrow to access these new guides.
The guide also includes sections just for children so that they can engage with the museums independently.
Whether you are in the museum or sitting at home, you can explore the collections and engage with our stories.
