Y Gaer Museum, Art Gallery & Library

We had an excellent time here. The layout of the Museum and Gallery makes it an easy walk around with many information sources and interactive elements. The courtroom and the photo exhibition were our favourites, the attendant who assisted us when we arrived was very friendly and informative. It is very wheelchair friendly with lifts between floors. A must do in Brecon.

We enjoyed our visit here, so much to see and lots of history to learn about. The courtrooms were great and the old classrooms. The staff were really friendly and knowledgeable and shared information about the pictures around reception. It is free entrance too.

Y Gaer – Museum, Art Gallery & Library is a cultural venue at the heart of Brecon, it includes Brecknock Museum, one of the best small museums in Wales, along with Brecon Library. The Museum, established in 1928, was originally housed within the Grade II listed old Shire Hall in Brecon. Now it is held in this fine modern annex to the old court house. The exhibits are first class, and holds a significant art collection, spanning the eighteenth century to the present day. The local displays and exhibits are quite fascinating, and includes the old courtroom along with a Victorian school classroom.

Lovely museum with a great collection showing the history of the area and Cymru. Full courtroom, example of school rooms, great collection of art, and artefacts. Very friendly staff. Toilets at site. Loads of parking are available in the area.

Fantastic find in the lovely town of Brecon and a must-see! The Victorian fronted building with its amazing mock Greek pillars is connected to a modern, light and airy extension housing the town library and museum. There are also two art gallery spaces. Free to visit. Friendly and helpful staff

Wow, the building looked nothing from the outside on High Street, but Wow, just wow. This is one of the best FREE museums I have been in for a few years. Everything was well presented from the displays, museum, cafe, the grounds. It was all excellent. A massive thank you to Brecon. Well done.

Passed the rear, so unfortunately cannot truly rate it...as i only took a photo when walking from the main street to the canal basin.

Excellent art gallery and museum. Went for the David Jones exhibition, which was amazing, stayed for the courtroom and the rest of the museum.
