Housed in a Georgian town house in Bath, this museum has a terrific Website!.Just drag the cursor down the front page list of topics and a series of images from the collections will appear alongside.Entering the collections section you find a set of gorgeous objects which can be changed by searching under the various cultures represented in the museum. Follow them in sequence to build up knowledge of types of, for instance, Japanese lacquer work. Although the text is clear and illuminating, there is also a glossary if you want to check up on some of the terms for materials and techniques and a list that gives dates of the dynasties mentioned. An Object of the month appears on the front page to get you started.Some of the collection objects appear on 'postcards'. The Send a Postcard feature enables you to choose a favourite postcard, add your own message and send it instantly to a friend!
