“Everyone in Wales should be able to use their national museums for learning, creativity and enjoyment. But to achieve this, we know that there is more work for us to do,” says David Anderson, Director General of Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales as the organisation responsible for Wales’ seven national museums and collections centre launches a public consultation on it future.
Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales is pleased to announce that it will begin a phased reopening of its museums to the public starting with the outdoor grounds of St Fagans National Museum of History, the Art Fund Museum of the Year 2019, from Tuesday 4 August.
All visitors must book their free visit in advance, online. This is to manage visitor numbers and ensure the safety of visitors, staff, volunteers and local communities. Visitors are also asked to wear face coverings when they visit for the wellbeing of staff and visitors.
St Fagans National Museum of History (outdoors only) is the first of the seven national museums to reopen on Tuesday 4 August and will be open every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday with pre-booking. The historical buildings and galleries at St Fagans will remain closed at present due to the COVID-19 restrictions.
The role of the arts and creativity in aiding our wellbeing is well-researched and recognised. A shared commitment to helping support people’s health and wellbeing in Wales through the arts and culture is one of the principles that has brought Amgueddfa Cymru, the Arts Council of Wales and the Welsh Government together to launch a series of new projects, titled Celf ar y Cyd (‘Art in Collaboration’).
