Monmouth Museum, Military and local museum in Market Hall, Monmouth, Great Britain
Monmouth Museum is a local and military museum located inside the historic Market Hall building, showcasing the history of the Monmouth region. The space spans multiple floors with rotating collections that present objects from different periods and aspects of the area's past.
The museum was established in 1924 following a major donation of a private collection to the town. This generous gift became the foundation for what is now the institution visitors see today.
The museum holds objects connected to Admiral Nelson, including his sword and personal letters that document his time in the area. These pieces show how a historical figure left a mark on this small town.
The museum is easily reached in the town center and provides accessible entry across its multiple levels. Visitors should plan time to explore all sections, particularly the galleries on the upper floors.
One of the rarest pieces in the collection is a 16th century Monmouth cap, the only original surviving example of this type. This textile artifact represents an important part of the local craft tradition that once made the town known.
