The CofGâr Collection
The CofGâr collections hold more than 50,000 years of Carmarthenshire’s history, from the last Ice Age to today.
From mammoth teeth to motorbikes, and lovespoons to Llanelly Pottery, the collection represents all of Carmarthenshire and beyond.
But caring for so many objects means we can’t show them all. So sometimes we’ll change displays and give others a rest.
If you have a favourite object you’d like to see, please get in touch with us before you visit to make sure it’s on display.

Into the West: The Late Bronze Age Hoard from Llanddeusant
On a wet and rainy day in November 2019, Richard Trew was out metal-detecting with his friend in Llanddeusant Community, Carmarthenshire, when he made an incredible discovery. Buried a short distance below the ground surface were two pieces of a large bronze spearhead, lying flat with one piece on top of the other.
