Horatio Nelson was born in Norfolk, died at sea and is buried in London. However, Monmouth is home to one of the best collections of Nelson paraphenalia in the world. The Nelson Museum was founded in 1924, following the bequest to Monmouth by Lady Llangattock of her collection of material relating to the famous admiral. The museum moved to the current premises (a market hall complex built in the 1830s) in 1969, at which time the local history collections for the town were incorporated.Find out about Monmouth's magnificent collection of materials about the famous Admiral, and learn about his life, loves, death and commemoration. The Local History centre, in the same building, deals with Monmouth and its people, including Charles Rolls of Rolls Royce fame and Henry V. Opening Hours: Daily, all year: Monday - Saturday 11.00am - 1.00pm, 2.00pm - 5.00pm ; Sundays 2.00pm - 5.00pm (Summer), 4.00pm (Winter). Admission free to all.
