Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales at National Museum Cardiff, located in the centre of Cardiff. All bryozoologists are welcome and we have prizes for the best student talk and poster.During the meeting there will be time to look around the museum's exhibitions which include natural science and a world class art collection. There will be the opportunity to take a guided tour behind the scenes of the Marine, Palaeontology, Mollusca and Mineralogy collections.
