About Holburne Museum
Built in 1796 as the Sydney Hotel, this elegant building at the end of Great Pulteney Street now houses fine and decorative arts collected by Sir William Holburne. The collection includes Old Master paintings, maiolica, porcelain, bronzes, and the best collection of silverware in the West Country. The museum café overlooks the Sydney Gardens, where Jane Austen walked.
