Wrexham Museum is in the former barracks of the local Denbighshire Militia. It is a building that has played many roles in the Wrexham and of Borderland's story and now The Museum aims to tell that story through its collections. As a young museum, we have only been collecting since the 1980s. STOP PRESS: Thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Wrexham County Borough Council, the museum is about to undergo a serious makeover including two new galleries, and a glazed extension featuring a new shop and cafe. The museum will close to visitors at the end of November, so staff can empty the building, prior to construction work beginning on site.
