What's On
The Mimosa's Voyage
Because it's 160 years since the Mimosa sailed to Patagonia this year, we have a new exhibition here at the Museum. The children at Nefyn School have been busy plotting the ship's journey on a map of the world, and doing research to get facts about the history. So visit us to see it!
