Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales

Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales is a family of seven national museums and one collections centre located across Wales, a devolved nation within the United Kingdom. We hold 5.3 million items in our collections, and our sites are vital community spaces that reach far beyond their location on a map. We aim to inspire everyone we reach through Wales’s story, and we recognize that everyone has something to contribute through our museums, collections and the work we do. Our collection departments include History and Archaeology (including Industry and Historic Buildings), Natural Sciences (botany, geology, zoology) and Art.

The museums and collection centre, which form Amgueddfa Cymru:

• National Museum Cardiff (Art and Natural Sciences)
