Holburne Museum
A Georgian-style art museum at the eastern end of Great Pulteney Street. It also served as a filming location for Bridgerton.
The Holburne Museum stands at the eastern end of Great Pulteney Street, at the entrance to Sydney Gardens. It was originally the Sydney Hotel, built in the late 18th century, and a modern glass-and-ceramic wing was added in 2011. The collection is built on the holdings of Sir William Holburne and includes portraits by Gainsborough, Stubbs and other English painters, as well as silver, porcelain and miniatures. It often hosts high-quality special exhibitions. The building's exterior appeared in the Netflix series Bridgerton as the residence of Lady Danbury. Behind the museum, Sydney Gardens is one of the few surviving 18th-century pleasure gardens in England, and it is open free of charge.
