Amgueddfa Ceredigion Museum

We have passed this museum on many visits and dismissed it. Just how wrong were we! From the outside it looks like the museum is in the back room of a shop/tourist information centre. But once you go through the shop you enter an old Victorian [I think] music hall theatre. What a fabulous idea to breathe new life into this old and very beautiful building and what a novel use for a theatre. The exhibits cover many different time periods and we loved them all. Well worth a visit, this is a fabulous place that deserves to be seen. And even better it is free!

Fantastic array of heritage and antiques. Very real laid out with friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. It really is recommended you visit here when in the area, extremely interesting and a fascinating look back through time.

I have been to the museum on many occasions and I have always enjoyed my visit. Today I and my family had lunch in the newly opened coffee house. The service was fantastic the food delicious, Vegan breakfast, breadcrumb fish cakes with large pieces of fish, Welsh rarebit, iced coffee flavoured with caramel and fabulous strawberry thick shake. Can’t wait to return

An Aberystwyth must see location. Free entrance. It is theatrical splendour.

First class local museum set across three floors in an old theatre and cinema. Split into logical sections, you can experience traditional Welsh farming and fabrics as well as some unique items in the toys and TV displays. There are displays of old money, a nod to Aberystwyth hosting a former royal mint in the castle. Welsh fabric samples, blankets of which can be purchased at the well stocked gift store and a small reproduction cinema where you can learn about the buildings former role and ownership. After your trip around the museum, you may well be in need of a cuppa. The museum also hosts a well stocked cafe that serves a variety of hot and cold drinks, cakes and snacks.

The museum is free to enter and the staff are incredibly welcoming, polite and always offer activities, and sometimes prizes, for the kids.

We enjoy our visit every time, especially since there are a few new items to surprise us each time we visit. Highly recommended for your next trip to Aber.

Lovely little museum with all sorts of bits to look at! A real mismash of stuff that is in a gorgeous setting of an old theatre, lovely visit 😊

An old theatre-cum-Museum. Fabulous displays, good collections, cute shop, and a lovely looking cafe (that we didn’t manage to try).

Really interesting self guided museum. A real taste of life in rural Wales. Lots of interesting displays, exhibits and artifacts. Cafe, clean toilets, wheelchair lift. Free entry. Well worth popping in for an hour if you're in Aberystwyth for the day. Located in an old theater in the middle of town.
