About y Gaer Museum
Y Gaer museum and art gallery is the home of Powys’ museums and heritage collections that celebrate the history of Brecknockshire and beyond through its permanent displays and unique temporary exhibition programme.
y Gaer is an exciting and inspirational cultural development, a major attraction for local people and visitors to Brecon and a spur to regeneration for the community of Powys.
It unites the classical Shire Hall, containing the refurbished Brecknock Museum & Art Gallery and its remarkable Victorian court room, with a new Brecon Library, education and community rooms and a cafe. These complementary elements are harmonised in a unique and bold architectural development blending old and new, fully accessible and welcoming to all.
