Event:Patrons Event: Library and Art Conservation

National Museum Cardiff

As part of our Patrons’ annual programme of events, we’ll be hosting an evening at National Museum Cardiff. Patrons will have the chance to go behind the scenes for Library and Art Conservation tours, including:

  • A rare opportunity to explore our paper conservation studio as well as the building’s library in the iconic dome.
  • Delving into our Library and Archives to view historic photographs of National Museum Cardiff and treasures from our rare book collections.
  • Discovering the specialist work of our Paper Conservators, view objects currently undergoing treatment and learn about the traditional materials used in art and writing before the 20th century.

This event forms part of our Patrons’ annual programme of events. Patrons provide a vital source of income that supports our work, helping to secure our future, while enjoying a close relationship with Amgueddfa Cymru and the opportunity to meet like-minded individuals.

We always love to encourage new supporters and offer a taster to anyone interested in what the scheme can offer.

If you are not a Patron and would like to join us for a free taster, please contact: development@museumwales.ac.uk
