What to see at Parc Howard Museum
Parc Howard Museum is a celebration of Llanelli and its people. We tell the stories of the generations of entrepreneurs and inventors who built and reimagined Llanelli over more than two centuries.
Every gallery across the two floors of this former Victorian mansion is a family-friendly and hands-on experience. We aim to inspire you with games and amusements designed to get you having fun - then get you thinking and creating!
