After breakfast, we headed out to the American Museum, which is out by Bath University - a short bus ride out of town. We were a bit early, as the museum doesn't open until noon, so we followed a local public footpath for a while and found a lovely tree under which to sit in the shade and read - and it was so hot today that we really needed the shade!
The museum had a nice display of American history - including the requisite dressing up -
cornhusk dolls,
beaded moccasins.
a nice collection of quilts,
furniture, and various other instances of the decorative arts. I've put a lot more photos in my flickr album.
We had some tea on the terrace,
a peek in the Folk Art Gallery,
and a stroll around the Mt Vernon garden.
After coming back to Bath Centre, we hung out for a while in the hotel room, mainly to cool down, and then headed into town again for some dinner. A good day all around. Tomorrow, we hit the Fashion museum and No 1 Royal Crescent - the bits of Bath a little north of where we are staying...
