National Museum Cardiff

We had so much fun on our visit. The exhibits were really engaging for the kids and my 5 year old loved interacting with the ladies on the show and tell stations and particularly enjoyed holding the replica woolly mammoth tooth! 😊

We had a great time looking at the Art in the Galleries upstairs in the National Museum. It was free to enter but donations are welcome! There were many great masters including my favourite artist Monet and each painting was clearly labelled with an explanation of the work. I will return next on a weekend when the Oriel restaurant is open and spend a longer time in this fantastic venue. I will be able to spend time visiting the Museum too. There is a coffee shop serving snacks and beverages in the foyer with a nice gift shop too.

Popped in here for a few others and we enjoyed it. We were a family of four with 2 kids ages 6 and 1, whilst the 1 year old was too young to enjoy it our 6 year really enjoyed it. Unfortunately the top 2 levels weren't open during our visit but we still enjoyed the rest of it.

Fantastic, educational day out in Cardiff. I learnt so much today during my visit, I loved the way the exhibition was curated, it was captivating and engaging. I couldn't take my eyes from the minerals and crystals and enjoyed learning about the history of our Earth, I found the timeline fascinating and really put things into perspective for me. The art gallery holds a great selection of works, covering a vast time period. I really enjoyed the modern art they had there. The perfect place for a rainy day or study trip.

Wonderful museum. Free entrance. Ideal for all ages. Best section is clearly about biology and paleontology where you will find lots of animals including high quality fossils. The building itself is huge and has lots of art. There are other sections on the museum worth to visit. Toilets are downstairs. If you visit Cardiff go there.
