Description
Built in Bath limestone ashlar in the form of a Doric tetrastyle portico. Greek Doric order with triglyph frieze and pediment. The fluting on the columns does not continue to the ground. Plinth of two stone steps. Blind wall with large panelled entrance doors in pylon architrave. The doors were replaced at the time of the rebuilding of the museum in 1987. It is perhaps curious that a museum of Roman antiquities should have a Greek portico, unless the portico was reused from the Old Market House, see History.
The listed part of the building has no interior.
