THE AMERICAN MUSEUM & GARDENS - BATH ENGLAND

In this video I am in Bath, Avon so The American Museum in Bath is part of my world. The American Museum and Gardens (formerly American Museum in Britain) is at Claverton, near Bath, England. Its collections of American decorative and folk art are displayed in a Grade I listed 19th-century house, surrounded by gardens overlooking the valley of the River Avon. The museum was founded by two antique collectors: Dallas Pratt (1914 – 1994), an American psychiatrist from New York and heir to a substantial Standard Oil fortune; and his lifelong partner John Judkyn (1913 – 1963), a British designer and antiques dealer who took American citizenship. The museum was opened to the public for the first time on July 1, 1961, and remains the only museum devoted to American decorative arts outside the boundaries of the United States. The museum's mission today stays true to the ambitions of its founders; to increase knowledge of American cultural history in order to strengthen the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom. The museum remains a popular attraction, with well over 3 million visitors in total by 2012.
