A two-part centre, the History Gallery provides an insight into the island's culture, history and environment.

the world's largest collection of the works of local artist Sir Kyffin Williams. This is housed in a specialist collection named Oriel Kyffin Williams opened by Shirley Paget, Marchioness of Anglesey on 18 July 2008.^[2]
