About

Llandudno Museum and Gallery has always been a treasure chest of all things local – from prehistoric and Roman times to Llandudno’s growth as a seaside resort.

Highlights of the recent redevelopment include new galleries, exhibitions and interpretation and family fun.

The museum is situated in the heart of Llandudno and is a 5-minute walk from the North Shore and 15 minutes from the West Shore. Close to the bus stops on Gloddaeth Street, and a 15 minutes’ walk from the railway station.
