Located in a Grade I listed building, the American Museum and Gardens features collections from the United States and displays that recreate periods of American history, as well as a world renowned folk art, quilt and map collection.
The gallery features a rotating programme of temporary exhibitions that showcases different displays that all related to American history, including photography, fashion, music and more. The gardens are 125 acres and feature designs from famous American architects, as well as a replica garden from George Washington's famous house outside of Washington DC, which has a dell, an arboretum, amphitheatre and children's garden.
The museum was created by Anglo/American couple Dallas Pratt and John Judkyn and opened in 1961 with the aim to dispel stereotypes of American culture.
