The Holburne Museum in Bath has been undergoing some rather large changes and is now proudly showing off its large and impressive extension, which is a complete contrast to the buildings around it. Critics reviewing this state of the art extension have declared it to be a success, bringing together modern and historical building methods and materials.

The museum is situated in Sydney Pleasure Gardens and has been home to an impressive art collection since 1893, including paintings, porcelain, silver and bronze works plus much more. A trip to the Holburne Museum will show you a wide variety of art – and with the opening of the extension there is even more art on display instead of in storage and hidden from the public. The new extension to the museum also has much needed disabled access, rooms for education and also a cafe.
