Olveston Historic Home
Olveston is an authentic and original historic home depicting the life of a wealthy merchant family in the early part of the twentieth century. Designed by acclaimed English architect Sir Ernest George, Olveston was built as a family home furnished with fine art, furniture and artefacts purchased from all around the world.
Opened as a historic house museum in 1967, Olveston is a time capsule as little has changed inside the house since it was occupied as a family home between 1906 to 1966.
Olveston is open 364 days of the year, 9am - 5pm. The gift shop is always open online! Shop for exclusive items, many featuring pictures from the Olveston Collection such as jewellery, greeting cards, tea towels and more.
