Museum of Bath at Work, Industrial heritage museum in Bath, England.
The Museum of Bath at Work displays reconstructed workplaces including a Victorian soft drinks factory, Bath Stone mine, cabinet maker's workshop, and period shops spanning two thousand years of the city's working history.
Established in 1978 and housed in an 18th-century Real Tennis Court from 1777, the museum preserves the engineering and mineral water business founded by Jonathan Burdett Bowler in 1872.
The museum showcases Bath's industrial heritage through exhibits featuring local innovations like Plasticine invented in 1897, traditional printing techniques, and authentic recreations of historical trades and craftsmanship.
Open seven days a week from late March to late November between 10:30 am and 5:00 pm, the museum offers free admission, wheelchair access, audio guides, and daily staff demonstrations.
The museum features a rare 1914 Horstmann automobile displayed upstairs, raising questions about how early automotive engineering solved the challenge of transporting vehicles to upper floors.
