How has Hip Hop shaped Welsh culture?
Embark on a transformative journey through Hip Hop culture in Wales.
Hip Hop: A Welsh Story is a dynamic exhibition that celebrates the evolution of the genre and artform in Wales. Come and experience the music, dance and fashion through the stories of the people who shaped Hip Hop’s past, present, and future.
Engage with the Culture
Dive deep into the past, present, and future of Hip Hop in Wales with elements that allow you to explore Hip Hop culture for yourself. Explore the vibrant world of street art and immerse yourself in the sounds that define our Hip Hop scene.
Celebrating the Hip Hop Community
Hip Hop: A Welsh Story is more than a showcase—it's an invitation to engage, reflect, and connect with the heartbeat of the Hip Hop community.
From the artists, dancers, and communities that make up the vibrant Hip Hop scene in Wales to their battles, events, and the spirit of togetherness, the Hip Hop community lives on.

The exhibition is free and you can pre-book your tickets before visiting. If you’d like to play an active part in sharing the amazing stories of Wales, please consider making a donation – your donations help us to ensure that Amgueddfa Cymru can continue to host inspiring exhibitions.
