Llandudno Museum and Gallery and its collection

Llandudno Museum and Gallery
Source

Llandudno Museum and Art Gallery is responsible for a unique collection which tells the story of Llandudno over 340 million years. Llandudno museum was founded by Francis Edouard Chardon in 1925. Chardon bequeathed his home, Rapallo House, and his collection of decorative and fine arts and artefacts to Llandudno for the enjoyment of the people. The Museum collections totals 9,000 artefacts and falls into 5 broad areas covering: natural history and geology; local decorative and fine art; social history and military history. Together the collections build up a picture of the development of our seaside resort that is resonant for local visitors and places the locality into context for tourists. It reflects a truly international collection that is rare and distinctive for such a small regional Museum. We are also considered to have a selection of some of the finest archaeological collections held in an independent museum in Wales. These collections include: Roman artefacts; a Neolithic skeleton and prehistoric tools; bone and pottery, recovered from the Great Orme Copper Mines, the largest mine in Europe.
