Great 👍.
The Museum of Cardiff explores the city’s story and heritage, telling the history of Cardiff through the eyes of those who created the city its people.
The Museum of Cardiff is a great starting point for any visit to Cardiff, and gives an introduction to the city’s history through engaging, interactive displays. It uses the stories of the people who have lived and worked in the city over past centuries to bring history to life.
The Cardiff museum tells the story of Cardiff through the words and objects of its citizens. The history of Cardiff from the world's first record shop through migration stories and social justice campaigns. There are events for toddlers- look for Dinky Dragons adverts as well as other events. You can also visit the beautiful tiled corridor restored with money from the lottery.
The Museum has won many awards since its establishment a little over a decade ago. Sadly the temporary exhibition space was taken away and no cafe but it is fully accessible with accessible toilets. It's free to all.
Please enjoy it now as Cardiff city council seem to be planning on closing it. So if it's gone you may not see a museum of Cardiff for a generation.
Caroline took us around the exhibitions and was very knowledgeable.
