Barry War Museum

Brilliant place free to visit. It is well worth a visit small but they have alot on display.

Our visit to the museum today was thoroughly enjoyable and informative, staff happy to tell the story about the two world wars and the effect on the local community . Fantastic place to visit , an hour is about right as it is small,. But don't be fooled, you will come away knowing someone cares for our service personnel and our history. Thank you for your hard work.

The WW1 section was very good, the man there was very knowledgeable and respectful, talked at length about the artefacts, his trips to France, the men of Barry, and the sacrifice they made. The WW2 section is more like a theme attraction, a kitchen and shelter take up most of the space, the bloke there was only interested in the 'Americans at War', and surprisingly and sadly gave the impression he couldn't really give a toss about the men from Barry. 5 stars for the WW1 museum, and 1 star for the jitterbug and powdered eggs. - Mike & Sue from Barry.

Great little museum , all war related 1940's kitchen and first world war mock up of trench

It presents wartime in an interesting way and all the volunteers who run, it are very passionate about what they do.

I am planning to see this museum but on the website says mostly close. I am off only Tuesdays but Museum open on Wednesday. It is sad.

Loved it. You can spend 10 minutes here and enjoy it or you can talk to the staff and get so much more over about an hour. Go for it, ask questions and listen.

I volunteer here and it's an amazing place. We show people around telling them as much information as we can. Children love it.
