Museum Workshop

My First Art Gallery Visit

With so much art to see at National Museum Cardiff it can be hard to know where to begin. Join one of our facilitators and delve into a selection of diverse artworks across the galleries.  There will be opportunities to share your ideas, opinions, feelings and mood. You’ll explore colour and shape through some hands-on challenges. Finally, you’ll work together to create a shape artwork in the gallery. 

Duration: 1 hour
Cost: Led by Museum staff - £40 for up to 15 pupils, £60 for up to 35. Free for some schools (see booking information).
