About us

Treasures include bronze age axes, jewellery, and a replica of the Gold Cape, a unique and beautiful artifact, discovered in a tumulus on the outskirts of the town by workmen in 1867.

Displays include a reconstruction of the workshop and study of the town’s most famous son, novelist Daniel Owen, sometimes known as ‘The Welsh Dickens’. Just a short walk from the bus station and town centre car parks, admission to the museum is free.
