Museum Workshop

Art of the Selfie - School Visits

Is a self-portrait the original selfie? Our exciting new Amgueddfa Cymru exhibition Art of the Selfie explores and asks this question, looking at how artists through time, from Rembrandt and Van Gogh to Bedwyr Williams and Anya Paintsil, see and represent themselves. 

There will be a limited number of exclusive slots available for schools to book at 10.15am or 10.45am.

Time slots are limited and cannot be changed. To make the most of your exclusive slot please arrive on time as we are unable to change or extend these.

To make a booking and talk to someone about this exhibition, phone (029) 2057 3240 or email educationmail@museumwales.ac.uk.

If you’d like to explore portraiture further, then why not book onto Exploring Identity Through Portraits workshop facilitated by our learning staff? Through analysing different styles of portraits learners will discover new artists and discuss portraiture and its uses in historical and contemporary contexts.  In responding and reflecting on the art on display we will consider how our own lives and identities connect with the artwork.

Dates: 16 March 2024 - 24 January 2025
Cost: Free of charge as is a self-led session.
