With a wealth of permanent collections dedicated to fine arts, contemporary art and decorative arts, the Cardiff National Museum also offers the opportunity to explore the country through its natural history. The visit is a real delight for young and old alike. And free admission is a good argument for wasting a few hours, especially if the weather is rainy.

National Museum of Natural History. On the ground floor is a spectacular botanical, zoological and geological department. Reconstituted natural landscapes, stuffed animals, herbaria and interactive maps show the genesis of the Welsh landscape. The huge skeleton of a humpback whale and the world's largest leatherback turtle will impress the whole family.

National Museum of Art. On the first floor, the National Museum of Cardiff also stands out for its very rich collection of works of art from all over the world. The Italian school is well represented, with Botticelli or Tiepolo. Then came Richard Wilson, Thomas Jones and Sir William Goscombe John for the local stamp. Finally, an interesting impressionist collection: Landscape in Auvers under the rain of Van Gogh, painted a few weeks before his death, Cézanne, Les Parisiennes de Renoir, Pissaro, Sisley or even Boudin, Braque, Derain, Vlaminck, Max Ernst and Magritte testify to the eclecticism of the Conservatives' good taste.

The sculpture section is not to be outdone since a copy of Rodin's Baiser and some of the sculptor's originals are on display.

Super musée gratuit
Le musée national de Cardiff est très varié, avec une section histoire naturelle (dinosaures, dont certains fossiles découverts non loin de Cardiff, animaux empaillés, etc.), géologie, peinture...
Ce musée est gratuit, donc il est facile d'y aller avec des petits enfants même si on n'y reste pas longtemps.
Le vendredi, en dehors des vacances scolaires, de 11h à 16h des espaces sont aménagés pour les enfants lors d'un "Toddler Time", avec des jeux et autres liés aux thèmes des salles où ils sont mis à disposition.

Visite parfaitre pour un jour de pluie en famille à Cardiff.
Nous avons visité la zone histoire naturelle une fin d'après midi avec notre fille pour changer un peu des chateaux et elle a beaucoup aimé, surtout les dinosaures et les animaux préhistoriques. Nous n'avons malheureusement pas pu voir les autres niveaux faute de temps, car le musée fermait.
L'entrée est libre (donation volontaire en fin de visite).
