Llandudno Museum

Llandudno Museum traces its origins to 1925, when the collector Francis Edouard Chardon bequeathed his home, Rapallo House, and his collection of fine and decorative art to the town. The museum later moved to its current premises on Gloddaeth Street in 1995, absorbing the neighbouring Arfon Villa to create more display and learning space. Its holdings run to more than nine thousand objects, spanning Roman finds and prehistoric material from the Great Orme copper mines, social history and militaria, alongside Chardon's own art collection. It is run by the independent Chardon Trust as a registered charity, not by the local council, and operates from this single Gloddaeth Street building.
