BATH FASHION MUSEUM & ASSEMBLY ROOMS
Period Fashionable Costume and Georgian Society
One of the most iconic sights of Bath is the Royal Crescent, a semi-circle of thirty joined residences in formal golden beige stone in the Palladian style, especially popular in England. While the houses of the curving joined buildings still serves the function of private residences, the first house to be built at the start of the crescent, with the address of Number One Royal Crescent is now a museum dedicated to showcasing the lifestyle of Bath’s rich and fashionable residents at the turn of the 19th Century, and to illustrate the interior of the architecture which gives the city its unique look.
The house was designed by John Wood the Younger, who also designed the Assembly Rooms a few blocks away, built between 1767 and 1774 as the first house in the Royal Crescent. There are ten rooms to explore on three floors representing both upstairs and downstairs life with period furnishings, decorated as it might have been when its original owner occupied it in the late 1700s.
