Why go
What makes Tenby Museum & Art Gallery worth considering
Visit the museum before the harbour and old-town walk when you want Tenby's Welsh, maritime, artistic, and trading stories to explain the streets outside.
The galleries cover local archaeology, the town's history and sea connections, changing exhibitions, and artists including Gwen and Augustus John, while admission supports an independent registered charity.
