Y Nyth Bach

In our museum space you will find Y Nyth Bach (The Little Nest) a space created for our younger visitors to explore. There you will find plenty of Welsh and English reading books, wooden toys, puzzles and jigsaws to play with. The dinky tables and chairs offer the perfect space to draw, sketch and colour together.

Workshops for Children and Families

We offer workshops with local artists, authors and our Learning Team all year round and enjoy celebrating the Welsh Museum’s Festival every Autumn. Our workshops aim to show off the best of our collections and exhibitions and to encourage children to get creative! During school holidays we have our Clwb Hanes (History Club) and Clwb Celf (Art Club). These sessions include a gallery or exhibition trail, and time to be creative in the Charles Tunnicliffe Room. These sessions last up to two hours and sometimes there is a small fee to cover the cost of the materials. Grown-ups are asked to stay with the children – which provides the chance for you to be inspired and have fun together!

Workshops for Adults

We organise exciting workshops and talks for adults throughout the year. The cost of these sessions varies but covers the costs of materials and instruction from experienced staff and professionals. Our previous workshops have included wreath making, painting, sewing for beginners and an introduction to printmaking. We also work with local partners to develop short creative courses for individual groups.
