Museum buffs have no doubt clocked the fact that the Holburne Museum in Bath, UK, features in the raunchy Netflix period drama
Bridgerton. The majestic Holburne doubles up as Lady Danbury’s residence in the popular TV series which focuses on the travails of two aristocratic families, the Bridgertons and the Featheringtons, in the early 19th century. A press statement from the museum points out that although the costume drama is set in Regency-era London, many of the series’ lavish locations were in fact filmed in Bath at locations such as the Holburne Museum, which was founded in 1882.
