Christmas has come early to St Fagans National Museum as a brand new outdoor play area, Yr Iard (The Yard), inspired by the museum’s collections, opened today.

Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales has won Silver at the prestigious International Design and Communications Awards which was held in Los Angeles in November. The silver was awarded for the Museum’s ‘Dinosaurs on the Loose’ marketing campaign in the Best Exhibition Campaign category. The campaign also won a Gold Award for Best Use of Social Media at the CIPR Cymru Wales’ PRide Awards 2017 last week.

The Sky in a Room by Ragnar Kjartansson

When you are here with me

This room no longer has any walls, but trees

Infinite trees.

When you are here, near to me

This violet ceiling

No, no longer exists

A harmonica sounds 
It seems to me like an organ 
That vibrates for you and for me 
Up in the immensity of the sky

For you and for me 
In the sky

(From Il cielo in una stanza,written by Gino Paoli)

Colossal engineering miracle to visit Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales sites in 2018
