This is a very busy and noisy event. If you would like a quieter experience, our collections are open Tuesday – Sunday 10am-4pm and our What’s On page has details of other events that you might prefer.

This event is free, however every gift you give us, however small or large, will help us ensure that Amgueddfa Cymru belongs to everyone and is here for everyone to use.
