The Holburne Museum in Bath

The final little bit of travelling that I did during my summer holiday was a cultural excursion to Bath. My mum and I had wanted to visit the Holburne Museum for a long time, and my time off from work gave us the perfect opportunity to go at last.

I was interested in going there not only to see its exhibitions, but also to see the beautiful Georgian building that it is housed in.

We were lucky to go when we did, as there's a very interesting exhibition of Canaletto's paintings of Venice taking place at the moment. It was really amazing to see all those beautiful depictions of different parts of the city, and it took me back to my trip there in 2017.

The museum's permanent collection includes paintings, sculptures and other historical objects from all over the world. There is also a very nice café located in a modern-looking extension at the back of the building.

After we'd looked at all the exhibitions and visited the café and gift shop, we had a little walk around Sydney Gardens, the park where the museum is located. There was a lot of construction work going on all around the park, but it was still a nice place to explore, with views over the Kennet and Avon canal.

Afterwards, we made our way back through the city centre to the train station, stopping at various shops and a café along the way! 

All in all, it was a very enjoyable and also educational trip to Bath, and a great way to spend a summer's day. I would definitely consider returning to the Holburne Museum in the future, and would highly recommend it to anyone who's interested in art and culture.
