Everything you need to know before visiting!

The American Museum and Gardens is only a short walk from campus and is home to beautiful Gardens, numerous exhibitions and an American-style Diner. With the weather getting nicer, it's definitely worth taking a trip!

What's on offer:

The museum is located in Claverton Manor, a beautiful historic building with large gardens and views of the city. The museum showcases lots of different rooms with art, exhibitions and a lot of American history.
