On the eve of national elections in the United States, the American Museum invites you to an evening with Justin Webb, the well-known presenter of the BBC’s Today programme and author of Notes on Them and Us: The British, the Americans, and their Essential Relationship.

The American Museum in Britain, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2011, aims to inform its visitors about the cultural history of the United States in order to strengthen relations between the two countries.  It contains over 15,000 items devoted to the decorative arts of America: fancy gowns and Shaker furniture, an extensive collection of native folk art, important holdings of early maps charting the discovery and exploration of the Americas, and one of the largest and finest quilt collections in the entire world.  ‘Portrait paintings and Grandma Moses, painted furniture and Chinese export porcelain – you will find it all here on top of Claverton Hill.’
