0:32:51 > 0:32:56- Just a few years ago it was feared - the collection would be forgotten.
0:32:58 > 0:33:03- The museum collates and displays the - area's history.
0:33:03 > 0:33:09- It's a rich story stretching from - the Iron Age, through Roman days...

0:33:36 > 0:33:44- ..but the local council had to close - it in 2014 due to funding cuts.
0:33:45 > 0:33:51- That was a very unpopular decision - so they started a campaign...
0:33:52 > 0:33:56- ..to try and save the museum.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- There were hundreds here - at one point.
0:34:00 > 0:34:08- We marched to Aberdare from the - museum as people were so passionate.
0:34:10 > 0:34:16- People felt very strongly that their - story should be heard and preserved.
0:34:16 > 0:34:21- After two years of discussion, - the trust reopened the museum.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- As it's part of the area's recent - history, there's a new gallery.
0:34:28 > 0:34:34- This is a new gallery at the heart - of the museum.
