The Museum at Work
Come and take a look at some of the stories our collections tell.
At the core of Amgueddfa Cymru is its collections. Researching these collections strengthens our contribution to a world-wide appreciation of Wales, and of the heritage and culture of the Welsh people. Keeping and caring for these collections enable us to continue as a living museum, and as the definitive treasury for Wales of objects from the past and present.
Take a look at some of the stories that our collections tell...

If anybody is interested in learning more about these things, then please contact me. In the original Blog, I managed to mention, Glyn Wise off Big Brother, setting up a virtual museum in Second Life, a Welsh name for Facebook and numerous other fascinating things. But there we go, such is the ficklelessness of the ether.
