Ceredigion Museum
Ceredigion Museum, Local authority museum in Aberystwyth, Wales.
Description
The Ceredigion Museum occupies a restored Edwardian theatre building in town and presents permanent displays covering regional history alongside rotating exhibitions. The main location is complemented by satellite spaces at other nearby sites, making different collections accessible at various points throughout the area.
History
The museum was founded in 1972 by the Cardiganshire Antiquarian Society and shifted to local council management in the following years. This change in governance helped the institution grow and expand its collections and outreach.
Culture
The displays feature furniture, clothing, and tools that show how people in this region lived and worked in earlier times. These collections tell stories about the daily habits and skills that were passed down through generations.
Practical
The main site on Terrace Road is easy to find, but exploring the full collections requires visiting several branch locations spread across the area. Planning ahead about which sites interest you will make your visit more efficient.
Did you know?
The collection includes taxidermy specimens gathered by the Hutchings family from the 1870s through 1942, offering a window into the wildlife of the region from that era. These preserved animals represent one of the institution's more unusual holdings.
