Our museum gift shop is inspired by the collections and exhibitions you will encounter on your journey through the story of Carmarthenshire.

For instance, folklore, myths, and legends are a powerful theme throughout the museum. Tales from the Mabinogi—a collection of medieval Welsh folktales—run through some of the artworks and craft objects on display. We encourage the telling and retelling of this folklore through the books we sell.

But folklore lives on in other products, too. The luxury toiletries and gifts made from natural ingredients by Myddfai are a fantastic example. Based in the eastern Tywi Valley, Myddfai is a Carmarthenshire success story and a social enterprise inspired by the legendary Physicians of Myddfai and their renowned herbal remedies and treatments. The first physician was said to be named Rhiwallon; he received his knowledge of healing medicine from his mother, a magical woman from Llyn y Fan Fach, near the village of Myddfai. 

By purchasing a gift from our Gift Shop, you will be supporting our work to promote these stories and this important part of Carmarthenshire's heritage.
