First open to the public in 1922, the National Museum Cardiff is one of a network of seven museums that make up the National Museum Wales. It houses Wales’s national collections of geology, natural history, and art. The museum is situated in Cathays Park, the city’s civic center. The art galleries reflect 500 years of artistic pieces from paintings to ceramics, including an admirable collection of impressionist art. The geology collection includes exhibitions of the Big Bang and Earth’s formation to the geological origins of Wales to the end of the first ice age. The natural history collection explores the unique and diverse environments that make up Wales. This family-friendly museum includes a hands-on discovery center.
