y Gaer Museum

Learn more about the important work that Powys museums do to preserve the county’s rich cultural heritage.

y Gaer is an exciting and inspirational cultural development, a major attraction for local people and visitors to Brecon and a spur to regeneration for the community of Powys.

It unites the classical Shire Hall, containing the refurbished Brecknock Museum & Art Gallery and its remarkable Victorian court room, with a new Brecon Library, education and community rooms and a cafe. These complementary elements are harmonised in a unique and bold architectural development blending old and new, fully accessible and welcoming to all.

***Last entry to the Museum is 4:00pm on weekdays and 3:30pm on weekends***
