Today we visited The American Museum at Claverton Manor, near Bath. Sadly the rain curtailed our walk in much of the gardens, but the sundial caught my eye.
No photography is allowed inside the Museum, but I can recommend a visit. Some of the furniture is stunning and the quilts are works of art.
''Housed in Claverton Manor on the outskirts of the Georgian city of Bath, the American Museum in Britain opened to the public in July 1961 with the intention of fostering historic ties between the United States and the United Kingdom. The American Museum is celebrated for its magnificent decorative arts collection – over 200 historic American quilts, exceptional pieces of Shaker furniture, exuberant folk art paintings and sculptures, Native American objects, and Renaissance maps of the New World.
