The Cardiff Story

Your City, Your Story
Opening in early 2011, this will be the first museum where Cardiffians and visitors alike can see the story of the city through the eyes of its people. Housed in the historic Old Library building in the heart of Cardiff city centre it aims to offer ‘a fun, free, family day out and a fantastic learning and community resource.‘
More of their blurb says this…
‘An international cultural venue which is an inclusive, exciting and inspirational resource; bringing people together to help them learn about the making of Cardiff, its diverse narratives and the multi-​cultural communities which created the capital city of Wales.‘
If all goes to plan the museum will be a great starting point for any visit to Cardiff, providing an introduction to the city’s history and pointing visitors to places where they can find out more.
In the lead up to the opening of The Cardiff Story, while the museum is being developed, the first floor galleries will continue to run a diverse programme of art and history exhibitions, as per usual and you can also enjoy a sneak preview of some of the objects and stories that will feature in the galleries. The downstair café/​bar remains a great place to hang out too.
