We are proud to have been the first Museum of Sanctuary in the UK.

Our first sanctuary award was in 2017. This award was reconfirmed in 2022.

We welcome and respect people from all backgrounds and recognise their contribution to our museum. We greet people with compassion, no matter who they are and where they came from. We seek to provide a space for everyone to input into our programmes and collaborate with others from all communities in Wales. We also offer time-limited community hosting that provides access to our meeting spaces.

Our aim is to be a space of friendship and solidarity.

For all enquiries about our work, our programmes or community hosting, please get in touch.
