Visit National Museum Cardiff

Move from Welsh art and European paintings to geology and natural history inside one civic museum. National Museum Cardiff gives families several ways into the story of Wales, whether the first hook is a fossil, a landscape or a work of art. The collections connect the physical country with the people who interpreted and represented it. Comparing a geological specimen with a painted landscape can make the same place feel both ancient and immediate. General admission is free. Check current opening, gallery and temporary-exhibition details before travelling. Add this to your list and choose one object that changes how you picture Wales.
