Yellow Room
This light and airy room was originally Annie’s bedroom. Inspired by her passion for natural history, the coving decoration features delicate depictions of British flora and fauna. We have no photographic record of Annie and Merton’s bedrooms, so have used photographs of their suite in the Royal Bath Hotel as the inspiration for the reimagining of these rooms. This room features objects and paintings from our world cultures collection, in homage to Annie and Merton’s love of travel. Annie was interested in world cultures and natural history and acquired collections of curios during her world travels. She was fascinated by indigenous cultures, particularly the traditions of the Aboriginal Australians and Maoris, showing empathy and respect for their culture.
