National Museum Cardiff

Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Caerdydd

National Museum Cardiff is Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales's museum of art, geology and natural history in Cathays Park, Cardiff's civic centre.

Why go

National Museum Cardiff is one of the seven museums of Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales, a charity. Its What's Here page says it houses Wales's national art, geology and natural history collections as well as touring and temporary exhibitions, with five hundred years of paintings, drawings, sculpture, silver and ceramics, and galleries on the Evolution of Wales and on Welsh natural history. The museum's visit page says booking a day ticket in advance gets visitors key information before their visit, that a charge may apply for some exhibitions, events and activities, that children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult, and that bags may be searched on entry. This record is the museum in Cathays Park, not Amgueddfa Cymru's other museums such as St Fagans.
