Haverfordwest Museum is a local history and heritage museum in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire. Collections include local and social history, the history of the castle, and a selection of local art. The museum is housed in the former governor's house, a Grade II listed building, said to date from 1779[2] inside Haverfordwest Castle and facing the former town prison.
In 2012 Pembrokeshire County Council decided to sell the current site for use commercially, and relocate the museum to another site.[3] The site has not been sold and the museum is still open. In November 2023 the roof of the museum was damaged by lead thieves.[4]
