The Holburne Museum

Like many of the best-loved museums, the Holburne Museum in Bath has an individual's collection at its heart. Sir Thomas William Holburne established its character and quality when he assembled his assortment of everything from paintings and silver to minerals and maiolica in the middle years of the nineteenth century. This book, published in association with the Holburne Museum, offers a history of the much-loved Museum and its jewel-like collection. Its 104 colour illustrations give an enticing overview of its endlessly rich and varied objects.
