Description
Oriel Môn is an art museum located in Llangefni on the Isle of Anglesey, housed in a modern building that displays multiple collections. Inside you will find regional paintings, detailed wildlife illustrations, and cultural objects that tell the story of the area.
History
The museum opened in 1991, built on the foundation of a significant art collection that came to the council in 1981. This acquisition gave the institution the core holdings that would become the basis for its permanent displays.
Culture
The galleries display work by regional artists, offering visitors a window into local artistic traditions and how creators from this area saw their world. You can walk through different sections and notice how each artist approached subjects like landscape and nature in their own way.
