Museum Collections

The American Museum in Britain takes you on a journey through the history of America, from its early settlers to the 20th century; and illustrates the complexity of American culture through its remarkable collections of folk and decorative arts. Its furniture, paintings, maps, quilts, silver, and glass are presented in a series of authentic period rooms. The museum has the finest collection of Americana outside the United States. 

An audio-guide is on offer to help bring the period rooms to life, whilst our expert Room Guides will be on hand to answer your questions and show you the way around the museum.
