With funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Welsh Government, St Fagan’s National History Museum in Cardiff has started on a £25m makeover that will include both new build and refurbishment work.

​

The existing main building will be totally transformed during the project with the construction of new galleries, learning areas and visitor facilities that are due to be completed in 2017.

​

St Fagans was established as the first open-air museum in 1948 and is currently one of Wales’ most popular tourist attractions with over 600,000 visitors every year.

​

The redevelopment will create over a 1000 volunteering placements and offer educational visits for schools.
