The Museum of Bath at Work tells the fascinating story of the people of Bath, its commercial and industrial history, and its development as both a manufacturing centre and tourist destination. Our permanent collections include the contents of a local engineering firm, a hardware shop, a Victorian soft drinks factory, and Bath Stone mine.

The museum also has a lively educational programme for schools and colleges, presenting regular lectures, day schools and workshops. Besides general experience of a heritage attraction, including exhibition preparation, liaison with schools, archival research, etc, the placement offers the chance to work on 'behind the scenes' collections management projects.
