The only museum of its kind outside the USA
Located just outside Bath, The American Museum & Gardens was founded to challenge stereotypes of American culture. By showcasing different perspectives and how cultures influence one another, we aim to entertain, inform and inspire.
Visitors to the museum will find unique American collections in the manor house, as well as special temporary shows in the exhibition gallery, with lots for all ages to enjoy.
You will find a treasure trove of over 12,000 objects, all with a unique story to tell, featuring a patchwork paradise of American quilts, decorative art, furniture design, historical maps and much more.
Overlooking the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the American Museum & Gardens is located on a hilltop with spectacular views over the Limpley Stoke Valley. Set in 125 acres of rolling green topography, the Grade II-listed gardens feature 2.5 acres of formal garden – one of the best gardens in the South West.
The estate includes the New American Garden, which was renovated in 2018 by US garden designers Oehme (OvS), the Mount Vernon Garden, and the Children’s Garden, as well as an arboretum and parkland, and a new woodland walk.
