Exhibition:Wales is... remembering Terrence Higgins

St Fagans National Museum of History
Finished

Born in Pembrokeshire in 1945, Terrence Higgins was one of the first people in the UK to die of an AIDS-related illness in 1982. 

To mark the 40th anniversary of his death, a quilt was produced that celebrates his legacy, and the founding of the Terrence Higgins Trust, who have lent the quilt for this exhibition. Each of the eight panels celebrate different aspects of his life, including as a Welshman, a gay man and his time in the Royal Navy.

The quilt is on display in the Wales is...gallery from: 29 January – 29 June 2026.
