The county museum tells the stories of people, power and protest across Carmarthenshire, from the arts and crafts they made to the tools and techniques they used.
Based in the 700-year-old former palace for the Bishops of St David's, you'll find reminders of that history throughout your visit. From a peaceful chapel to a dark old kitchen, you'll find plenty to enjoy at the Palace in a Park.
Permanent displays showcase Carmarthenshire history in themed galleries, beginning with Power, People and Protest, and continuing through to a Victorian school room and Second World War kitchen. The collections on display showcase everything from crafts and customs to farming and fine art.
