Abergavenny Museum is set in the grounds of a 'ruined' Norman Castle, where you can enjoy a picnic during the summer and a brisk walk on colder days. The museum building was formerly a hunting lodge built by the Marquess of Abergavenny.

The displays tell the story of this historic market town from prehistory through to the present day. The displays are on several levels, with some help most areas are accessible to wheelchair users.

• Regular programme of temporary exhibitions. These include new acquisitions and work by local artists.

• Staff willing to try and answer any historical queries you may have about Abergavenny and the surrounding area.
• Small gift shop to enable you to purchase a souvenir of your visit.
