Fashion and costume history lovers will go crazy about the clothes, gloves, fans, shoes and various accessories. Like at the Jane Austen Centre, there is the possibility of renting vintage clothes for some shots at the height of kitsch. Audio guides are available in 12 languages.

At number 1 of Royal Crescent, there is a very peculiar museum that reconstructs a Victorian apartment, with original Chippendale furniture.
