Pontypool Museum has now completed its major over-haul and invites you all to come and visit! Over the past three years, nearly half a million pounds has been spent on renovating the outside of the Grade II* listed building and upgrading the exhibition areas inside. The museum now has full disabled access with an outside ramp and a lift next to the Barker Gallery enabling full access to the Library, Research Room and Training Room upstairs ! Spend some time inside the freshly decorated reception area and coffee shop, after enjoying the new displays and exhibitions, mostly telling the story of your local history. |
