National Museum Cardiff

Check the website before you go for tickets (free) and see what's on. I didn't but as it was midweek it wasn't a problem. I enjoyed the commentary on the Rules of Art after I had seen the exhibition - it added understanding for me! The Natural History Halls are a separate entity packed full of facts and and interesting displays for younger folk. The crystal display is wonderful - nature is amazing. Pictures don't show the beauty of the formations.

Half Term break in Cardiff is not complete without a visit to the National Museum.
Great experience for the kids and adults alike. Nicely setup and each section is quite well displayed.
Currently building a new ramp for wheelchair and buggy access so should be even more welcoming and user accessible.
Just across the road ftom Hilton Cardiff

A pretty big museum for adults and kids to explore. They have a great art collection on the second floor. The history of everything from the big bang to dinosaurs to geolgy and animals on the first. Gift shop and cafe on site as well. Free entry but can donate if you wish to.

Enjoyed the French Impressionism paintings in the top floor of the museum; it hit my trip to Cardiff. The admission is free and the staffs are very friendly and helpful. Lots amazing collections in the museum and worth to spend a day reading and appreciating all the artwork and the historical background and creation ideas about them.

A very nice museum. The bottom part is all natural history and exhibitions (you need to pay to enter the exhibitions), the upper part is all art like Botticelli, Monet, Van Gough, etc and some pottery. The museum is very clean and the staff is helpful and friendly. Lovely selection of gifts at the gift shop!

Cardiff museum is one of the best in the United Kingdom in my opinion. It's a great free, fun and interesting option to have, and good for all weathers.

The classical art section here is excellent with many masters on display such as Renoir, Monet, Van Gogh, Turner and more. The display is well laid out and comes with information about each painting or sculpture.

There is a prehistoric section with information about dinosaurs, mammoths, fossils and so on. And the museum has rotating special exhibitions which change every few months

The building is also gorgeous, a fine example of Victorian era architecture

I had a phenomenal time here when I went on a trip to Cardiff with my school! The exhibitions were completely outstanding, I've never seen anything like it! The facts on the boards surrounding the artifacts and the dinosaurs were very interesting and I found my trip here very educational! I highly recommend going here and as someone from Pembrokeshire who was visiting this was completely marvellous! It also had a really nice gift shop! Didn't have the time to buy anything though it was severely tempting! If you're looking for an educational visit with little ones or even a fun day out with your family this is definitely the place for you! (The felt animals are extraordinarily detailed too which adds an extra layer of magic to the museum!)

Popped in whilst we were in the area and checked out some of the natural history exhibits. Some great taxidermy specimens and dinosaur skeletons! Interesting exhibits in both Welsh and English.
