About a dozen years ago my wife and I visited Bath. We had a heck of a time finding the Herschel Museum but eventually did. We were the only ones there.

Guess Bath’s other attractions greatly overshadow a museum dedicated to an Astronomer who wanted to name a newly discovered planet George.

There is a dress belonging to Caroline on display on a dummy. She was tiny. !

Worth a visit anyway though the staff there seemed to know little about astronomy
