Such a great place to learn about our history in a fun way for adults and kids. I love the art galleries and the new exhibitions they always have! I go here very often because there's so much to see!

Dan

The Insight exhibition is absolutely brilliant. It's a fun and beautifully visual way of finding out what goes on behind the scenes at museums .

Megan McNish

While this museum is not only free, but also has a lot to offer, I would say it almost has too much! Pick a section you would like to focus on during your visit otherwise you leave feeling overwhelmed

Enzo Martinelli

Impressive collection of art , from Wales and around Europe
