The collections at Torfaen Museum are wide-ranging, from household white goods of the 1950s to the Blaenavon fire engine that protected the streets in the 19th century. Our social history collection represents the lives of a wide variety of people throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, with a special focus on childhood and toys. We hold a permanent art collection while artefacts from Llantarnam Abbey and the areas surrounding Cwmbran capture glimpses of life in the Medieval era and earlier... Torfaen Museum was established by the Torfaen Museum Trust in 1978, a registered charity with the purpose and intention to "preserve, interpret, disseminate and celebrate local culture and bring the culture of other communities to the communities of Torfaen and beyond."... We also hold the national showcase of Japanware, including items from the collections of Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum of Wales.
