Since 2012, Narberth Museum's home has been the Bonded Stores, a building with a purpose - to keep people out. Stored inside would have been hundreds of kegs full of valuable but duty-free whisky, brandy and rum. Only when the Revenue Officer and the Stores Manager were both present with their keys could the double locks be opened.

The Gift Aid admission price includes a voluntary donation of 10% more than the standard admission price. If you are a UK taxpayer, Narberth Museum can claim back tax from the government when you pay the Gift Aid admission price. If you are not a UK taxpayer, additional donations to support the work of the museum are very welcome.

What’s Here Report

The paintings of local missionary Annie Allen raise questions on how we interpret freedom. Born into a world of privilege, she was 'free' to travel widely and her paintings offer a rich insight into the lives of tribespeople in Uganda as well as the culture and wildlife. However, Annie was equally constrained by her obligations as a missionary and the limitations of her gender; particularly as a member of the 'polite' class.

Narberth’s Independent Bookshop Report

Chapter One, the museum bookshop, stocks an extensive range of books, many of which are available to buy online.

Not easy to find, but it's like a tardis inside. So much history and fantastic displays. Must see

A nice museum. Some video stories, lots to read and things to do too. Particularly liked the Mabinogion dressing up costumes- beautiful quality!

Well displayed artifacts depicting aspects of Narbeth's history. A cafe and second hand bookshop as well as lovely staff. Well worth a visit.

What a gem. Excellent museum, curated with a contemporary unstuffiness. We spent hours learning all about local characters, work and life: really interesting. Great bookshop and second hand books too, coffee and two Kit Kat’s for £1- what’s not to like. Really worth a visit, whatever your age.

Surprised there was enough information on a village to justify a museum but there is. And a history of an important but sad 'son' of the place.

We have always lived in Narberth but have never visited the museum. Such a lovely couple of hours this morning, definitely a hidden gem and well worth a visit 😄

A lovely little museum, imaginatively done, telling the story of Narberth and the surrounding area. There's a friendly cafe and a wonderful indie bookshop both of which you can pop in and enjoy without paying to go into the Museum each time. A credit to this gem of a Pembrokeshire town

A beautifully designed, interactive space to discover many of the stories that helped to create the Narberth that exists today 🧐

It has so much in there that captures you imagination. Especially if you know Narberth.

It's a hidden gem - becoming less hidden, as visitors discover it along Church Street. Be surprised and enchanted, browse the extensive new and second-hand book collection, and take advantage of the five days a week opening until after half-term when the Wed-Sat pattern will begin. And you still have time until 28 September to see the beautifully intricate artwork of Charlotte Ashleigh in the upstairs exhibition space.

My grandsons also loved the dressing up, but they were far more interested in sword fighting than in tales from the Mabinogion!!! We thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of the "cogs" and defending Carew Castle even if we did have to redo our defence after the King was most displeased with us!!!
