Description
Carmarthen's new Town Museum and Gallery is located in Carmarthen Regional Library. The Library's listed facade once formed part of Furnace House, home to the Morgan dynasty of iron masters. The Library itself offers a range of services for library users. A public car park is nearby. Please note however that all enquiries about the Town Museum should be directed to Carmarthenshire Museums Service.

Collections description
Carmarthen has been a centre of government, trade, industry and culture since Roman times. In the displays you can find pottery imported in Roman and medieval times, a collection of official weights and measures, and a Columbia printing press from when Carmarthen was the printing capital of Wales. The town's rich cultural and social life feature strongly in the displays too.
