The National Museum in Cardiff is in an easy to get to place, and within its building hosts a lot for the visitor.

Many of the dispalys are permanent - such as the Evolution of Wales exhibition - which tells the story of Wales right from the Big Bang, through geology, dinosaurs, and on to the present day.

There are also what you might consider the 'usual' galleries displaying such as paintings and china, plus the world's largest known leatherback turtle...so a lot to explore.

during school holidays they tend to put on special events in the Glanely Gallery, where children (sometimes of all ages) can go along and find out about something hand-on - this could be anything from butteflies to rocks. They also do lunchtime talks on many different subjects - and all of this is usually free of charge.
