Queen Victoria’s clothes together with other textiles and accessories from the Victorian period will be on display at Storiel from the 17th October.

A black dress worn by Queen Victoria in the late 19th century will be on display as well as her chemise, cuffs, hat and infant’s dress. Also on display will be a wedding dress from the Victorian period, jewellery and accessories, shoes and shawls.

Queen Victoria’s clothes were donated to the Museum by a variety of people, and it is interesting how similar items exist in other Museums and private collections. This display will also show some aspects of style and fashion in the 19th century.

Art Exhibition

Jac Jones

05 October 2024 - 04 January 2025

A major exhibition of work by Jac’s Jac Jones, artist, illustrator and author at Storiel promises to be inspiring and surprising.  Jac’s images are known to thousands of families across Wales – the Jac y Jwc character he created for the Sali Mali series of books or artworks for classic children’s books such as Lleuad yn Olau and Y Trysorfa to name but a few. Others might be surprised to see Jac’s artistic works in LP covers and theatre posters. For over fifty years, Anglesey born Jac has, and continues to, create artistic work of the highest standard; whether for children’s books,  LP covers, theatre productions or television programmes.   His work is familiar and yet this is a rare opportunity to see his artisty up-close in a gallery.  On display will be sketch books, story boards, familiar characters and less well known artworks.  Together, they demonstrate Jac’s talent - he could turn his hand to any style that was required that would produce the best result – a real testament to his creativity, skill and imagination.
