Before you go

Check the exhibition programme and any gallery closures before choosing your date. Museum admission and a café stop are different purchases; seeing the building from outside is not the same as visiting the galleries.

The practical details

Where to find it: Great Pulteney Street, Bath BA2 4DB, beside Sydney Gardens.
Directions and arrival information ↗
Tickets and booking: Check general admission and the current exhibition programme. Do not assume gallery entry is free; concessions and any special free periods have their own conditions.
Access and getting around: The museum lists level entry, lifts to every floor, gallery seating and an accessible toilet. A wheelchair can be booked ahead. Confirm any equipment or access arrangement essential to your visit with the museum.
Official access information ↗
Visiting with children: Pick a handful of objects or pictures to look at together. Check the family programme before travelling if a workshop is the main reason for your visit; activities can have separate dates or booking requirements.

Practical information checked 14 September 2026. Confirm anything essential to your visit with the venue.

Make it part of your day

Allow 1–2 hours for the visit, plus travel and breaks. This is a suggested planning allowance; opening times, access and availability may affect your plans.
