Gwynedd Council have announced plans to close the Museum in Bangor,
The aim of Gwynedd Museum and Art Gallery is to contribute towards the understanding of the history and culture of Gwynedd and its people by collecting, caring for and by providing access to its collections so that everyone can share its rich heritage.”
This is Gwynedd’s only general museum. Learning about the ways of life led by previous generations helps us to place our own experiences in the context of an unfolding story. This understanding enriches our lives. Which part of the collection will be of interest to you ? Every visitor will leave with a particular memory of a favourite object. What will yours be?

To enable them to save £60,000. This will mean the closure of North Wales
oldest museum, the loss of several jobs and untold damage to the local
heritage, tourist industry and economy as well as cultural life in the
county.
There is now a web site set up, to set a pettition about this, if you feel you want to sign it please do so!
