J Glyn Davies's family left some of his model boats to Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales, and Saturday was the first time for these to be seen in public. Today, J Glyn Davies is best known for some of his famous songs for children, including Bwrw Glaw yn Sobor Iawn, Siôn Corn, and of course, Fflat Huw Puw.

The exhibition is showing at Llanberis until the end of July, and will then be on show at Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales and the National Library of Wales's stand at the National Eisteddfod. It will also be at the National Waterfront Museum, Swansea.
