The museum
From the house where Uranus was discovered
The Herschel Museum of Astronomy sits at 19 New King Street in Bath, the Georgian townhouse where William Herschel discovered the planet Uranus in 1781, and where his sister Caroline became the first woman paid to be an astronomer. It's a Bath Preservation Trust museum, and every purchase from the shop helps keep their story alive.
