The Museum of Bath Architecture is small, housed in the former Countess of Huntingdon's Chapel. But it is packed full of interesting information and models showing the details of Georgian architecture. It was fun to look at all the plans and photos. We learned about the prescriptive style of the times, and how everything was built, right down to the window construction. We gained a new appreciation of for crown molding and other architectural details. It also helped us appreciate Bath's architecture more as we walked around town.
