Museum Making – Transitioning the Museum of Bath at Work

We wish to reposition the Museum to tell the wider stories of Bath as a working, living city with innovative interpretation and activity that will engage wider audiences and enable us to become more resilient. Museum Making – Transitioning the Museum of Bath at Work is a community focussed project that will build a new basis for what we do and how we do it to enable us to move towards a capital redevelopment project to rethink use of space in our historic building. It builds on our progressive development from a museum that focussed on technology and industry to celebrating working lives in Bath. We aim to become a community museum – for Bath and about Bath, embracing the concept of community co-production in our approach, building a new dynamic that looks at the City’s development from the Industrial Revolution to the present day through a new interpretative viewpoint.
