'O'r Môr i'r Mynydd' Lectures
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!
