It became a museum in 1948. Collections include 19th- and early 20th-century decorative art, cut glass, Victorian furniture, mechanical musical instruments, and paintings. The former indoor pool now serves as a café, and a courtyard garden remains. Galleries span three floors. Open daily; admission fee applies.
