The Georgian House Museum

A lovely period priority in Bristol city, worth a visit and interesting history!

It's a good-sized historic place, with nice helpful staff. I liked the efforts to highlight the slaves working on the plantations, it's very thoughtful. I wish I could have gotten a closer look at some of the parts of the rooms like the bookshelves but I understand the barriers are necessary for preservation. I really liked the laundry/second kitchen and the breakfast room. Entry is free, you have the option to donate.

Well, it be a nice enough period property, for a merchant of modest means. I confess it brought back good memories of when I was alive. However, it's a tad small for a chap who made a living through providing unpaid employment to persons of Africa. Now if ye want to see some real opulence, ye really need to visit Qatar. I was blown away by the splendid things slavery can buy out there. You can even see a football stadium (not a sport that interests me - I always preferred horse racing and fox hunting). I'm sorry, but Bristol's Georgian House simply cannot compare to Middle Eastern nations.

Under-visited museum that's well worth a look around in my view. It's centrally located and donation-based for entry.

We were shown around by a really informative guide who was able to make the visit a more storied experience. It's quite tardis-like, with lots to see on four? floors.

The rooms contain original furniture and I think the whole place offered a real insight into class and society in the Georgian era. It does feel odd touring a place with deep ties to the trade in enslaved people, but the curators have made some effort to acknowledge that role and encourage visitors to ask questions and explore it.

There's a small gift shop selling local books and a few other bits and bobs, but no food to my knowledge (although Park Street is a minute or two's walk away!). Most floors were not accessible as far as I could see.

Interesting museum to visit. It is basically an old preserved house of a controversial historical figure. Can be finished in 30 minutes or less.

I believe many people simply walk by here and don't stop in. I myself have been guilty of this many times. But I would advise you to stop one of these days as this is a nicely crafted peek into the Georgian world with rooms to visit and excellent guides who can tell you everything you want to know. Also it's free, so no more excuses, go and visit 😀

We arrived half an hour before closing & we were made to feel welcome & given an interesting tour by the staff, I will be visiting again when next in Bristol as I loved the history of this house, thank you for taking us on a whistle stop tour of this beautiful house.

Interesting time period place lots of interesting information and a chap taking people around explaining everything this is also free to enter great for a wet day
