Redevelopment

  • An individual is standing in front of a textured background. To the left, there’s a wooden door, and to the right, a stone wall. The person is wearing dark clothing with visible straps and is holding slate shaped like a dragon.
  • Three individuals walking side by side on slate path at National Slate Museum. there's a row of rustic stone houses behind them, there are wooden fences and slate walls visible around them

The redevelopment project will breathe new life into our much-loved Museum and will safeguard our spectacular historic buildings and globally important collections so that future generations can experience and enjoy the incredible story of slate.

The development will:

  • Conserve and renovate the significant Grade 1 buildings and collections
  • Improve the visitor experience, access and interpretation at National Slate Museum
  • Create a GATEWAY for the UNESCO World Heritage Site
  • Upgrade spaces which will enable us to share more of Amgueddfa Cymru’s diverse collections
  • Place Environmental Sustainability at the heart of everything we do
  • Involve people and communities in telling the story
  • Enable more people from all backgrounds to learn, develop skills and be creative
  • Preserve and develop traditional skills related to the slate industry
  • Create opportunities to explore the museum digitally
