IMPORTANT!

Redevelopment Project

Our indoor galleries are currently closed as we build new exhibition spaces, the historic re-erected buildings in the open-air Museum are open as usual.  The roundhouses in the Celtic Village are in the process of being dismantled as we prepare the site for a new eco-friendly exhibition space. 

St Fagans: National History Museum has received funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and the Welsh Government to completely transform the visitor experience. Over the next five years, developments include a new entrance hall and visitor facilities, new gallery spaces and historic buildings including a medieval Welsh prince’s hall. » Find out more
