Ceredigion Museum is set to close in order to conduct essential repair and maintenance works.

The local council said the Grade II listed building in Aberystwyth will be shut from 19 May and is expected to re-open in spring 2026.

The work will include a new roof, repairs to the suspended ceiling and replastering damaged walls.

Cllr Catrin M S Davies said the repairs are "vital" to ensure "future generations can enjoy" the museum.
