Learn more about the important work that Powys museums do to preserve the county’s rich cultural heritage.
Llanidloes Museum is co-located with Llanidloes Library and is situated in the middle of town in the Town Hall building.
Llanidloes Museum of Local History and Industry was established in 1930 and was originally housed in the old Market Hall until it moved in 1995 to the ground floor of the Town Hall.
Now co-located with Llanidloes Library, the museum depicts the history of the Borough of Llanidloes over the last 300 years. Exhibits are nestled amongst the library shelves, displaying items related to the 1839 Chartist outbreak, lead mines and woollen industry. The last room features three diorama cases representing late Victorian scenes, a kitchen and laundry, parlour room and naturalist’s study.
