Original manuscripts and audio recordings form a key part of this accessible, hands- on exhibition. It includes a Children’s Trail and a range of exciting interactives and games, making it engaging and fun for pupils of all ages and learning needs. Our experienced team will be on hand throughout the day to ensure you and your pupils get the most out of your visit.

Learning through participation and engagement remains at the centre of our work. Our learning programme is inspired by the curiosity of artists, and our founder Richard Glynn Vivian, through his journeys around the world collecting art, his thirst for knowledge and culture, and the belief that art can change lives. Founded in 1911 by the original bequest of Richard Glynn Vivian (1835-1910), the Gallery houses a distinctive collection of historical 20th century and contemporary art, as well as our changing temporary exhibition programme, which offers new opportunities for exploration, and creative response throughout the year. Our experienced Learning Team offer unique creative experiences designed to give a balance of Creative Development within the Foundation Phase and Understanding, Investigating and Making into Key Stage 2. We are also able within a workshop visit, to satisfy some of the demands of the Curriculum Cymreig through the increased understanding of the work of the artists of Wales where appropriate.

    The Newsletter of the Federation of Museums & Art Galleries Of

    The newsletter of the Federation of Museums & Art Galleries of Wales April 2011 The 2010 Federation AGM, Llanberis In November each year the Federation holds its AGM in a prominent museum or gallery and alternates between North & South Wales. In 2010 the AGM was hosted by the National Slate Museum in Llanberis and the keynote speaker was the new Director General of Amgueddfa Cymru, David Anderson. The event took place in the museum’s Padarn Room, one of two available conference / education rooms. The Federation President, Rachael Rogers (Monmouthshire Museums Service) presented the Federation’s Annual Report for 2009/10 and the The Padarn Room, National Slate Honorary Treasurer, Susan Dalloe (Denbighshire Federation President, Rachael Rogers and keynote speaker, Museum, Llanvberis Director-General of NMW / AC, David Anderson, at the AGM Heritage Service) presented the annual accounts. Following election of Committee Members and other business, David Anderson then gave his talk to the Members. Having only been in his current post as Director General of Amgueddfa Cymru for six weeks, Mr Anderson not only talked of his career and museum experiences that led to his appointment but also asked the Federation Members for their contributions on the Welsh museum and gallery sector and relationships between the differing museums and the National Museum Wales. Following a delicious lunch served in the museum café, the afternoon was spent in a series of workshops with all Members contributing ideas for the Federation’s forthcoming Advocacy strategy and Members toolkit. The Advocacy issue is very important to the Federation especially in the current economic climate and so, particularly if you were unable to attend the AGM, the following article is to encourage your contribution: How Can You Develop an Advocacy Strategy? The Federation is well on its way to finalising an advocacy strategy for museums in Wales.

Pinning the Daffodil and Singing Proudly: An American's Search for Modern Meaning in Ancestral Ties Abstract This paper is a collection of my personal experiences with the Welsh culture, both as a celebration of heritage in America and as a way of life in Wales. Using my family’s ancestral link to Wales as a narrative base, I trace the connections between Wales and America over the past century and look closely at how those ties have changed over time. The piece focuses on five location-based experiences—two in America and three in Wales—that each changed the way I interpret Welsh culture as a fifth-generation Welsh-American.
