Cymraeg – the Welsh Language – and Amgueddfa Cymru
Cymraeg – the Welsh language – is an intrinsic part of the heritage and culture of Wales, and Amgueddfa Cymru has a key role in developing people’s knowledge and understanding of the history of the language and Welsh culture, as well as using and celebrating the language in our work.
Our Welsh language policies are rooted in compliance with the Welsh Language Standards, as set out by the Welsh Government under Section 44 of the Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011. But our work also reflects our commitment to the Welsh Government’s Cymraeg 2050 strategy, as well as the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act (2015) and specifically the wellbeing goal ‘A Wales of Vibrant Culture and a Thriving Welsh Language’.
