THE HOLBURNE MUSEUMGreat Pultney Street, Bath. BA2 4DB - 01225 466669
The Holburne Museum, situated at the end of Pultney Street, is a successful combination of ancient and modern. The house was originally a hotel built in the late eighteenth century but was adapted for the purposes of a museum early this century by Sir Reginald Blomfield. The collection of decorative and fine art which it contains was made by Sir William Holburne (1793 - 1874) and includes superb English and continental silver and porcelain, Italian maiolica and bronzes, together with glass, furniture, miniatures and old master paintings. Bath connections are also represented by Angelica Kauffmann's portrait of Henrietta Laura Pulteney (right). |
