The Building of Bath Museum was designed by Polly Hudson for The Bath Preservation Trust, as the first museum of Georgian architecture in Britain. It was shortlisted for the European Museum of the Year Award 1992 and still houses the only permanent exhibition about the building construction process in the UK. The exhibition was co-designed and researched by Christopher Woodward and the exhibition installation created by Michael Brawne Associates. Exceptional support was provided by Michael Briggs, Francis Kelly, Mark Hamilton, Ros Hudson, Mark and Jane Rees, Professor Robert Tavernor, Phil Trevor and Helena Webster.
