The extinct Dodo pops up at international conference

Prestigious natural history conference comes to Wales for the first time

“Industrial action will cause some disruption at Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales sites from 12 – 2pm today (Wednesday, 18 June 2014). However, four of the seven museums will remain open during this two hour period and we are doing our utmost to ensure normal services resume throughout the rest of the day. We would advise visitors to check our website for further information before travelling to any of the sites.

In response to the current trend for all things vintage, Swansea’s National Waterfront Museum has launched a range of hen party packages using old-fashioned craft and jewellery making as a theme.

Have you ever wanted to experience the museum at night after the lights dim and the doors close? Well, now is your chance!

On Friday 16 May from 6pm, the Museum will come alive with all things science including arts and crafts, wacky science demonstrations, a family trail plus a 3D movie (from 7.30pm).

John Griffiths, Minister for Culture and Sport, and Elisabeth Elias, President of Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales, have announced the appointments of a new Trustee and Treasurer-designate, and two further Trustees to the Museum’s Board.

The National Waterfront Museum is delighted to welcome Swansea-born Nev Wilshire, star of BBC‘s The Call Centre who will join us on Sunday 27 April at 2.30pm for a fascinating insight into his award-winning business success.
