Description
Wrexham Museum is in the former barracks of the local Denbighshire Militia. It is a building that has played many roles in the Wrexham and of Borderland's story and now The Museum aims to tell that story through its collections. As a young museum, we have only been collecting since the 1980s but there are plans to convert the whole building into a regional museum for North East Wales. The Museum has been home to the Welsh Football Collection since early 2001. When not on display in the galleries, the collection can be viewed at The Collections Centre (opening hours Monday, Wednesday and Friday 2.0 -4.0pm, excepting Bank Holidays) You can come face to face with Wrexham’s earliest known resident at the Museum - ‘Brymbo Man’ lived near Wrexham during the Early Bronze Age, more than 3,500 years ago.
