A series of films inspired by the collections of Amgueddfa Cymru, and designed to comfort, soothe, stimulate and inspire.

Objects of Comfort resources have been developed to connect people living in care homes, those at risk of social isolation and those looking for activities to do in group sessions, with Wales’ national collections. These downloadable resources can be used as the basis for activities, or as prompts for meaningful conversations and reminiscence. The films have been created so that they can be enjoyed equally by those in care settings, at home or by any group which meets regularly and is looking for meaningful and fun activities to improve the mood and wellbeing of those who take part.
