'Maintaining a historic building of the age, scale and complexity of National Museum Cardiff is an ongoing challenge. With the Museum approaching its centenary next year, we are looking at options for potential improvement and redevelopment to maintain and preserve the building and to enhance the experience for our visitors, ensuring it is fit for purpose for future generations. These exciting milestone plans are at an early stage and subject to several stages of business cases and planning frameworks - as such, no decisions have been made yet.    

Any planned decision to temporarily close the Museum’s building for any period of time will be subject to a full review and consultation with our staff, volunteers, visitors and the wider community, confirmed by its Board of Trustees.    

'In the meantime, we have recently appointed a design team which means that enabling works which are needed for maintenance purposes can now be carried out in earnest and concept options for the future explored, putting the Museum in the best possible position to move forward with wider works should this be progressed in future.
