The Jane Austen Centre is a permanent exhibition dedicated to Bath's most famous literary resident, exploring how the city influenced her life and novels. Located in a Georgian townhouse on Gay Street, it uses period costumes, interactive exhibits, and a café to bring Austen's world to life.
Jane Austen visited Bath multiple times before living here from 1801 to 1806. The city features prominently in Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. The centre opened in 1999 on the 200th anniversary of Austen's arrival in Bath and has since become one of the city's most beloved attractions.
