The Nelson Museum & Local History Centre

The Nelson Museum in Monmouth is a free to enter museum holding a collection of Nelson memorabilia. This was possible because of Lady Llangattock donating her collection to the town. She was a Victorian with lots of money who collected anything to do with Nelson. Some of it is literally souvenirs like jugs with his name on just like today’s collectors. However it also contains a huge collections of documents and unique personal items of which only a fraction is on display. A good place to visit for an hour or so if you are a Nelson fan.

In the middle of Monmouth this museum is a great find. Free to enter. Well kept & available for hire. I often sit outside on the benches & watch the world go by. But have been inside & learnt a bit about the chartist riots court case

Pleasant, understated local museum with exhibitions and a Lord Nelson collection. There is some seating and a small shop, good postcards. Very nice staff. Sited in town centre amidst the Blue Plaque Trail

Lovely museum, they got all kinds of memorabilia from Nelson which makes for an interesting exhibition. They also have some nice paintings from Maciag. The women at the desk was very helpful and we had a nice chat. I liked it.

A number of exhibits and items related to Horatio Nelson, some of which are one off pieces. There are a number of other exhibits to visit in the museum too. Admission is free and it is a good place to spend an hour or so.

Strange place. The art gallery is bigger than the museum area. Some of the 'Nelson pieces' are first rate and very interesting viewing. Woman in the reception was on the phone when we arrived and still on it when we left. At least it's free!

Typical small town museum but with an impressive collection of Admiral Lord Nelson's nick backs. Four stars for that so worth a visit.
