About Us
Welsh Museums Festival is an annual event presented by the Museums Federation Cymru, which is the strategic body for museum and art gallery professionals in Wales.
We hope that you enjoy this year’s Welsh Museum Festival, and continue to enjoy our museums and galleries all year round.
Museums Federation Cymru represents over 100 unique accredited Welsh museums, from the very small to our great national museums. Together, these invaluable collections tell the story of Wales, and are a treasured resource for learning, exploration and knowledge about our local and national identity, and how we have lived here in Wales since the dawn of time.
Visits to museums in Wales contribute £78.3 million to our economy each year. In addition, they contribute positively to employment and career development and statistics show that visiting museums significantly increases our sense of wellbeing too.
