Alternatively, if you want to catch up with the latest discoveries in the field of art or archaeology, the Glanely Gallery has a wide variety of sources to help you. It’s packed with state-of-the-art resources as well as being equipped with the humble scissors and glue for that more ‘hands on’ feel.

Gareth Bonello, Biosyb Facilitator at the National Museum Cardiff said:

‘Throughout the month of November, Glanely Gallery will travel back in time and look at Wales during the prehistoric age. Where did people live and what did they eat? Come along and create jewelry made from copper, and discover how our ancestors lived.
