Museum
Chepstow Museum reveals the rich and varied
past of this ancient town, once an important port and market centre.
The wine trade, shipbuilding and salmon fishing are among Chepstow's
many industries featured in displays with atmospheric settings. Photographs,
programmes and posters recall the pastimes of local people, whilst 18th
and 19th century paintings and prints illustrate the everlasting appeal
of Chepstow and the Wye Valley to artists and tourists alike. The Museum
is just across the road from Chepstow Castle in an elegant 18th century
house built by a prosperous Chepstow merchant family.
