Handling Collections to Loan

Handling collections are an effective way of bringing the museum into a classroom or community setting.

Our handling collections contain an array of photographs, maps, original artefacts, replica objects, items of costume and documents. They are designed to support the delivery of the Curriculum for Wales across the different areas of learning and experience. For community groups they can be used to celebrate seasonal events, key dates and to reminisce.
