What visitors say
Nicely put together and surprisingly extensive museum of Georgian upper and lower class life, with multimedia displays to help illustrate the era. As a Bath resident, I’ve been here a couple of times and I think it’s somewhere that should be more popular as it really helps to explain Bath’s more recent history. The staff were very accommodating and explained everything about our visit. Tickets last for one year.

No. 1 Royal Crescent offers a fascinating look into Georgian life in Bath. The beautifully restored rooms and furnishings bring history to life and help you imagine how people lived here in the 18th century. The dining rooms were lovely and it was nice to see so many antics in one place. The wigs and dresses were fascinating especially if you like the outfits worn at that time. A wonderful place to experience Bath’s elegant architecture and heritage.

Great place to experience. You can just go look at the Cresent and stroll around. The lower park is accessible to everyone. There is a very upscale hotel in there, many are residences. The No. 1 Royal Cresent museum is a way to see what a Georgian-period household would have looked. Very interesting tour.
