Museums in North Wales

For a small region, North Wales packs in a huge variety of fabulous museums. Whatever your interest - industrial or maritime heritage, politics, transport, military, religious or social history - you'll find artefacts and experts ready to indulge your curiosity.

The museum curators, many of whom are volunteers, work hard to provide ever-changing exhibitions, events and talks. You can expect to find lots of enjoyable, interactive exhibits suitable for all ages, and look out for regular events during school holidays and weekends.

Our accredited specialist museums in North Wales include the family-friendly Narrow Gauge Railway Museum, gruesome Ruthin Gaol and the Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum, based within the magnificent Castell Caernarfon. Find out how the rich land owners and their servants lived their daily lives at the impressive Erddig estate, or meet Llandudno Museum's Neolithic skeleton Blodwen.
