Holburne Museum, Art museum in Bath, England.

The Holburne Museum displays fine and decorative art collections across multiple floors in a former hotel building at the entrance of Sydney Gardens.

The museum opened in 1882 with over 4,000 objects bequeathed by Mary Anne Barbara Holburne following the death of her brother Sir William Holburne.

The permanent collection includes Renaissance treasures, British paintings, Dutch Golden Age works, porcelain, miniatures, and silver objects from different European periods.

The museum welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 17:00 and Sundays from 11:00 to 17:00, with free entry on Wednesday afternoons.

A modern glass extension completed in 2011 doubled the exhibition space while maintaining the Grade I listed status of the original building.
