Fashion Museum, Bath

About

PLEASE NOTE: The Fashion Museum has temporarily closed in preparation for their move to a new home in the centre of Bath. Find out more here.

The Fashion Museum has now left the Assembly Rooms and is temporarily closed while we prepare to move into our new home in the centre of Bath in several years-time. 

There is still a lot of work to do before we can move into our new home, and we won’t be able to open our doors to the public until the project is complete in three to eight years-time; this is because we need time to raise the funds to complete the buildings and make them suitable to look after the collection.

But don’t worry - during this transition period we’ll be bringing you an exciting array of digital content to keep you up to date with all our activities and our world class collection!

Our new home will be located right in the heart of Bath, at the Old Post Office. This gives us a unique opportunity to create one of the world’s great museums of fashion! It will be more accessible, engage with a wider range of people and tell a greater range of stories than ever before.

The new Fashion Museum will form part of the council’s Milsom Quarter Masterplan, an ambitious 20-year vision to transform the Milsom Quarter area of Bath into a fashion destination for the South-West, attracting creative industries to the area, relocating the Fashion Museum and providing 180 new homes.
