Das Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum in Innsbruck, nach dem damaligen Kronprinzen Ferdinand , der das Protektorat übernahm, auch Ferdinandeum genannt, wurde 1823 unter dem Namen Tirolisches Nationalmuseum als Verein gegründet.

Das Theatre Royal in Bath, England, wurde erbaut im Jahr 1805. Es wurde beschrieben als „eines der wichtigsten verbliebenen Beispiele georgianischer Theaterarchitektur“. Der Zuschauerraum verfügt über 888 Plätze. Der Bau des Theatre Royal ersetzte das Old Orchard Street Theatre , welches daraufhin schloss und zu einer katholischen Kirche umgewidmet wurde. Die Finanzierung erfolgte durch eine Tontine. Der Architekt war George Dance der Jüngere, zusammen mit dem ortsansässigen Architekten John Palmer. Zur Eröffnung wurde eine Aufführung von Shakespeares Richard III. gegeben. Dabei traten viele namhafte Mimen dieser Zeit auf: Dorothea Jordan, William Macready und Edmund Kean. Ein großes Feuer vernichtete 1862 den gesamten Innenraum des Gebäudes, jedoch wurde rasch der Wiederaufbau unter Leitung des Theaterarchitekten Charles J. Phipps durchgeführt. Er war es auch, der den heutigen Eingang konzipierte. Weitere Renovierungen und Umbauten in den Jahren 1892 und 1902 folgten, darunter ein neues Treppenhaus und die Installation elektrischen Lichts. Trotz Vorstellungen mit berühmten Darstellen wie Sarah Bernhardt, Anna Pawlowa und Mrs. Patrick Campbell war das Theater wenig profitabel. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs traten auch die Stars Donald Wolfit, Irene Vanbrugh, John Gielgud und Sybil Thorndike auf, mit Shows wie Noël Cowards Private Lives und Blyth Spirit, einer Aufführung der Rambert Dance Company und leichter Unterhaltung, wie Charleys Tante, gleichwohl sanken die Zuschauerzahlen. 1979 wurde das Theater von einem Trust gekauft und mit Spendengeldern renoviert. Eine neue Bühne wurde gebaut und ein neues Zugsystem für Kulissen und Licht installiert. 1997 wurde ein neues kleineres Theater mit 150 Sitzplätzen, das Ustinov-Studio, eröffnet. 2005 folgte das Kindertheater The Egg. 2010 gab es weitere Renovierungen des Zuschauerraums des Haupttheaters. Der Komplex beinhaltet auch Bars und Restaurants. Das Theatre Royal ist auch Gastgeber verschiedener jährlicher Veranstaltungen, wie Family Theatre Festival und das Shakespeare Unplugged Festival.
