Amgueddfa Pontypoll Museum

In the Georgian stable block of Pontypool Park House, a building of charm and dignity, displays and audio visuals combine vividly to tell the story of the Torfaen Valley and its people from earliest times to the present day. There is also a regularly changing programme of temporary exhibitions and special events. The museum is often used as a starting point for exploring the Valley's other attractions.
