Newport Museum and Art Gallery

Super place. It's old now but the staff are superb. Superb library and an excellent reference library. A museum is encompassed within the building. You'll enjoy it very much. Many coffee shops in the square and great restaurants and cafe's within 5 mins walking distance. Enjoy.

A hidden gem in Newport city centre!
Art gallery on the top floor (lift available) is a curious eclectic mix of displays including permanent ones devoted to all things ‘tea’ and temporary exhibits from local artists - when we visited it was ‘ how green is my valley’ by Ron McCormick.
The museum on Level 1 is accessed through the library and once again contains an eclectic mix of fascinating artefacts from Welsh history including interactive displays, and mosaics. There’s a kids activity trail to keep them busy too!
Food and drink is limited to vending machines and seating area on top floor.

Great art collection with regulsr special exhibitions but low footfall sadly. On the Top floor of the library building in John Frost Square, next to Principality building society.

Very sparse and bland as a museum, extremely sparse as an art gallery. There was a lovely kids activity area in the art gallery, and that saved it. The library looks pretty good, but as out of towners, it was not why we were there. Shouldn't take you more than an hour or two to go through the museum and gallery. It has promise, and it is an amazing space that could really be used as a positive art space for the community. Let's hope happens in the future. There is no cafe, just a vending machine and some tables.

Lovely place to visit . My grandchildren loved the museum and then we went into the library and read in the children's corner . It has sensory lights which kept my Austin grandson really chilled out . He loved the lights inside the padded seat box .

A lovely little museum and gallery, plenty to see. Friendly and helpful staff. There is a gift shop and refreshments available in the museum cafe. Museum entry is free, so you can’t really complain, not that there’s anything to complain about anyway. I was very satisfied with my visit there. The gift shop and cafe prices are very reasonable and the level of service was great.

Little nice and chill gallery and museum.

An absolutely fab museum, surprisingly big and usually very quiet allowing you to wander around without interruption. Lots of Roman artifacts as would be expected, but also lots of interesting objects and pictures giving you a real insight into the history of the city and its famed Transporter Bridge. Favourite part is the row of shops, school and pub that have been recreated in Victorian style. Definitely worth a look and a donation if you have spare time and change.
