“Amgueddfa Cymru has an exciting year in prospect, during which we will concentrate on operationalising our new strategy and progressing important new initiatives that feature prominently in the Welsh Government Programme for Government, especially Amgueddfa’r Gogledd. I am delighted to be at the helm, albeit briefly, at this time of great change and opportunity for the museum.”
