No.1 Royal Crescent Museum

No.1 Royal Crescent Museum was the first town house of the Royal Crescent to be completed, and is an excellent example of Palladian architecture. Decorated with handsome hand-painted marbled wallpaper, the rooms of the house contain period furniture and the artifacts of 18th century daily life. On the ground floor there is a dining room with a sumptuously spread table, and a study where the men took their port and card games. On the first floor, a drawing room and a bedroom are carefully preserved. The basement kitchen, with its many utensils and long wooden bench table, seems still alive and working, right down to the old-fashioned mousetraps. Don't miss the period sedan chair in the corridor under the stairwell.
