This community based museum tells the story of crossing the Menai Strait and celebrates the iconic, historic bridges and the famous engineers who built them. You can see artefacts from the original bridges, watch films of their reconstruction, try building a bridge or test your knowledge by doing the quiz, extend your visit with a walk over and under the Suspension Bridge or look for the lions on the Britannia Bridge and find out why the Menai Strait is so important for wildlife.

Open every Wednesday and Thursday, during school holidays from 10:00-17:00 hours.
Outside normal opening times, we are happy to welcome groups of 10 or more; please contact the office to discuss your visit.
