St Fagans National Museum of Welsh History - Cardiff, Wales | Things to do in Wales | UK Travel Vlog
In this vlog we visit St Fagans National History Museum (previously known as the Museum of Welsh Life) just outside Cardiff, South Wales. It's an open air museum and I think it's one of the best places to visit in Wales! We take a look at the new visitor centre, then we explore the historic buildings, including St Fagan's castle, the Iron Age roundhouses and the farm.
It was a gorgeous day and we had such a great time!

A Day Out At St Fagans, Cardiff - The National History Museum Of Wales
A day at the Welsh National History Museum, St Fagans just a few miles west of Cardiff. Having a look around the 100 acre grounds where over 30 historical buildings have been rebuilt from around #Wales #VisitCardiff
If you are local to Cardiff or South Wales then you probably remember visiting as a kid on a school trip and being forced to complete some badly photocopied worksheet but there’s much more to St Fagans than this.
The National History has much more to offer and it is now Wales’s most popular heritage attraction.
We visited on a rare sunny and warm Autumn’s day at the start of October 2016, it was perfect weather for the visit.
If you are local and have not visited since you were a kid then it is well worth going back and if you on vacation in Wales then you must take time to visit the museum. Like most museums in the UK admission is free but you do have to pay for parking.

St Fagans, National Museum of Welsh Life, April 2019
My final visit as part of my April 2019 camping trip to South West Wales, was a stop off at St Fagans National Museum of History. Located near Cardiff, St Fagans faithfully rebuilds buildings from all walks of life from all across Wales in an authentic setting. Encompassing a huge area, with in excess of 40 buildings to explore. St Fagans in an incredible day out in the past, one not to be missed.
St Fagans, Cardiff! (2018)
A visit to the awesome museum of Welsh life at St Fagans. When i was editing this, my mouse (and movie maker along with it) went completely haywire and things mucked up a bit, i dealt with the known issues immediately but it appears i forgot to fix the title at the beginning and one of the clips is in black and white (i have no idea how that even occured) so my apologies for that. The dodgy mouse has since been replaced with a shiny new one.

National Museum Cardiff, Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom, Europe
National Museum Cardiff is a museum and art gallery in Cardiff, Wales. The museum is part of the wider network of Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales. Entry is kept free by a grant from the Welsh Government. The National Museum of Wales was founded in 1907, when it inherited the collection of the Cardiff Museum, which shared the building of Cardiff Central Library. Construction of a new building in the civic complex of Cathays Park began in 1912, but owing to the First World War it did not open to the public until 1927. The architects were Arnold Dunbar Smith and Cecil Brewer, although the building as it now stands is a heavily truncated version of their design. The museum has collections of archaeology, botany, fine and applied art, geology and zoology. In 2011, with funding from the Clore Duffield Foundation, the former Glanely Gallery was transformed into the Clore Discovery Centre, which offers hands-on exploration of the museums 7.5 million items that are normally in storage, including insects, fossils and Bronze Age weapons. School groups, formal and informal groups can also be accommodated but should book in advance. The National Museum of Art opened in 2011. The collection of Old Master paintings in Cardiff includes, among other notable works, The Virgin and Child between Saint Helena and St Francis by Amico Aspertini, The Poulterer's Shop by Frans Snyders and A Calm by Jan van de Cappelle. A collection of landscape paintings in the classical tradition includes works by Claude, Gaspard Dughet, Salvator Rosa and two works by Nicolas Poussin: The Funeral of Phocion and The Finding of Moses (the latter owned jointly by the Museum and the National Gallery, London). These works prefigure the career of the Welsh-born Richard Wilson, called the father of British landscape painting. In 1979 four cartoons for tapestries illustrating scenes from the Aeneid were bought as works by Peter Paul Rubens, but the attribution is now disputed. There is a gallery devoted to British patronage of the eighteenth century, in particular that of Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, who was nicknamed 'the Welsh Medici' for his lavish spending on the arts. Included is a portrait of Williams-Wynn in Rome with fellow Tourists by Pompeo Batoni, one of his second wife by Sir Joshua Reynolds and his chamber organ designed by Robert Adam. Other paintings of note from this period is a portrait of Viscountess Elizabeth Bulkeley of Beaumaris as the mythological character Hebe, by the 'sublime and terrible' George Romney, and Johann Zoffany's group portrait of Henry Knight, a Glamorgan landowner, with his children. The collection of French art assembled by Margaret and Gwendoline Davies, granddaughters of the wealthy industrialist David Davies bequeathed to the National Museum in the 1950s and 1960s, make Wales's National Gallery one of international standing. It includes the largest group of paintings by Honoré Daumier in the world and the most important by Jean-François Millet in Britain. Works by Claude Monet include San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk and examples form his Rouen Cathedral and Water Lilies series. Post-impressionism is represented by Van Gogh's late work Rain at Auvers, and by Paul Cézanne's The François Zola Dam, the first painting by the artist to be displayed in a British public collection. The two most famous works in the Davies Sisters' collection are La Parisienne by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, exhibited in the First Impressionist Exhibition, and a version of Rodin's Kiss cast in bronze. The art gallery has works by all of the notable Welsh artists, including landscapes by Richard Wilson and the pioneering Thomas Jones. There is a considerable body of work by John Gibson, Queen Victoria's favourite sculptor, and major paintings by Augustus John and his sister Gwen John, including the former's famous image of Dylan Thomas. Ceri Richards is well represented. The artistic output of David Jones is well represented, but seldom on display owing to the fragile nature of his works on paper. Wales's most prominent contemporary painter, Sir Kyffin Williams (1918-2006), also features in the collection. The collection of 20th-century art includes works by sculptors Jacob Epstein and Eric Gill and painters including Stanley Spencer, the British Impressionist Wynford Dewhurst, L. S. Lowry and Oskar Kokoschka. Works by contemporary artists are on rotational display, including those by Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon, Frank Auerbach and Rachel Whiteread.
