Bath's Holburne Museum has been officially reopened by artist Sir Peter Blake, following the completion of an extensive £11.2m refurbishment of the attraction.

An extension designed by Eric Parry was at the centre of the redevelopment scheme, which has doubled the available display space and provided bespoke education facilities. Top-lit galleries for temporary exhibitions have also been constructed as part of the project, which received funding support from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Holburne Museum is housed in the Grade I-listed Sydney Hotel - originally designed more than 200 years ago. It was remodelled as a museum by Sir Reginald Blomfield in 1913.
