Event:Celebration of Nature

Join us as we celebrate the wealth of Nature in Wales at St Fagans National Museum of History.
We’ll have our Amgueddfa Cymru scientists on hand to give you a glimpse into the fascinating diversity of life using specimens from our collections that are stored in Cardiff.
Learn from our experts in plants, animals and fossils.
We’ve partnered with some local nature-based charities and organisations, who will talk about their wonderful projects to help protect our biodiversity.
