The CofGâr collection contains many objects kindly donated by individuals, families and other groups and organisations over the last century.

Gifts like these help us tell the fascinating stories of the people and places of Carmarthenshire. Many of these might not have been known but for the generosity of our donors. So we want to continue to collect objects that are special or significant to our county.

But we already care for over 50,000 objects. So we don't have much space left to care for more. Therefore, we're now in the process of reviewing the collection, which will help us to decide what needs to be collected in the future.

While the review continues, we've taken the difficult decision to stop accepting new public donations of objects for the museum collections.

Please consider offering your objects to other organisations instead. Or look to reuse or recycle your objects in new and creative ways.

We understand that this might be disappointing for some. Every object is valuable and loved in its own way. But to ensure that we give the best care for all objects that we look after now and in the future, we have to put limits on the kind of objects that we accept into the collection.

Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to accepting objects again in the future.
