Diwrnod Daeareg, Bring a Rock Day
On Sunday the 26th of October, there will be a 'Bring a Rock' day of activities for children here at the Museum, starting at 10:00. In collaboration with the Welsh Museums Festival, GeoMôn, GwyrddNi, and the National Trust, there will be a variety of activities that will give an opportunity to learn about the connection of geology with the world around us, and how we can learn more about history, biology and climate change as a result. There will be an opportunity to look at the different types of stone and lichen in the Museum's walls, guess the weight of a stone, bring your own rock to find out its background, and have a lecture about the connections in the history of Llŷn and Anglesey. These activities will go on during the day, so you can stay all day, or choose an event to come to. Entry is free, but booking is required. Also, children must be accompanied by an adult, and bring a packed lunch if you want to stay all day. You can book a place or inquire about a specific schedule of the day by emailing afllmm@yahoo.com.

Come and listen to four lectures looking at maritime and industrial history as part of a project funded by Cyngor Gwynedd's Welsh Church Fund, on Thursday nights at 7pm. The details about the lectures are on the poster.
The Mimosa's Voyage
Because it's 160 years since the Mimosa sailed to Patagonia this year, we have a new exhibition here at the Museum. The children at Nefyn School have been busy plotting the ship's journey on a map of the world, and doing research to get facts about the history. So visit us to see it!
