THE HOLBURNE
MUSEUM
Art lovers will revel in a day
spent soaking in the many
exhibitions, workshops and
individual exhibits on offer
at The Holburne Museum –
and with an ever-changing
programme of events, it’s
somewhere easy to return
to again and again. The
collection dates back to 1793
and provides educational
and community engagement
opportunities for both young
and old. Once you’ve spent
time exploring the artwork in
the galleries, you can enjoy a
drink or seasonal, fresh bite
to eat in the bright Garden
Cafe, situated at the back
of the museum and run by
coffee experts Benugo. Pick
up a souvenir to take home
in the tasteful onsite gift shop,
which stocks a wide range of
homeware, books, accessories
and stationery. The grand
setting and sumptuous decor
ensure the venue is popular
for corporate events and
weddings too, large historic
portraits
and
classically
stunning architecture serving
as an impressive ceremonial
backdrop. Photo opportunities
are plentiful both indoors
and out due to the museum’s
photogenic location within
Sydney Gardens, the setting
for many a garden party.
