Abergavenny Museum & Castle

Our customers and staff as well as the community are our priority.  Due to staff shortages, protecting health and redistributing resources to support priority areas across Monmouthshire County Council we have to close until further notice.

As a valued customer we would like to thank you for your continued support

Although our museums are closed at the moment, we are developing our digital channels to share with you some fantastic artefacts. To find out more, LIKE our Facebook page and FOLLOW us @Mon_Heritage on Twitter. We are also challenging you to tell us more about some of our Mystery Objects. Would you like to get involved and help MonLife with any research? Keep a lookout for those posts and let us know what you think.

Abergavenny Museum houses a wonderful collection of artefacts, permanent displays and temporary exhibitions, detailing the history of the town and wider area.

The museum, which was founded on 2nd July 1959, is located in a Regency building, built on top of a Norman motte within the grounds of Abergavenny Castle. 

Today, the combination of a wonderful museum and picturesque castle represents a fantastic attraction for those looking to learn more about the area, explore the castle grounds, or find a great spot for a picnic.

The museum’s 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.
