Haf o Hwyl - Summer at Amgueddfa Cymru!
We’ve got a whole host of hwyl across our seven national museums including a jam-packed exhibitions programme and a host of events designed to keep you entertained all summer.
With activities for children, and big kids alike, we've got spaces to roam, spots made for picnicking and gift-shops full of holiday mementos . Relive the summer fun you remember at Amgueddfa Cymru.
