Parliament House, Machynlleth, Powys, SY20 8EE, Tel 01654 702401
Glyndwir (alternatively Glyndower or Glyndwr), cut a romantic swath through Welsh history. He led a rebellion against English rule in 1404, and established a Welsh Parliament, which supposedly met here at an earlier Parliament House. Glyndwir vanished in 1412, but his legend lives in historical displays, books, and documents depicting his life and that of Wales in medieval times. There is also a brass rubbing room in the museum. See map

Robert Owen was a successful industrialist, but more importantly, he was a social reformer whose ideas on the ethical treatment of workers scandalised his 19th century contemporaries. His idealistic model village at New Lanark earned him the title, "the father of socialism". Owen is buried in the churchyard of St. Mary's here in Newtown, but his life is preserved in this museum.
