THIS year Newport Museum is celebrating its 125th birthday and is currently holding an exhibition from now until early December.
A very interesting and eclectic mix of artefacts is on display for members of the public to view and enjoy.
There are also information booklets which accompany these relics.
Of course these are but a mere fragment of the museum’s overall collection.
So I urge anyone who has the slightest interest in history to take the time to pop along and marvel at these wonderful objects, after all this is your museum, enjoy it. I say this as I feel quite assured that none of us will be around to view the 250th anniversary.
Steve Palmer, Park End, Newport
