Have you ever found any old and interesting archaeological objects?
Ever wondered what they were?
Now is your chance to find out!

Finds Liaison Officers (FLOs) will be available to identify and record them for the Portable Antiquities Scheme.

Email finds officer Nicola, to book a guaranteed 20-minute slot, or just drop in on a first-come first-served basis.

Garden Games

Our Garden Games will be out once again this summer. Have a try at badminton, skipping rope, or create a chalk masterpiece!

Chill Out Space

When there isn’t a workshop, our Chill Out Space will be open for activities such as colouring, games, and play. It is a great place to put your feet up, have a picnic, and enjoy the free Wi-Fi.

Have you tried our mouse trail?

We have 22 mice hidden around our museum. It is quite a challenge to find them all – will you become an expert mouse hunter?


Make sure to check out the RISW, who provide a regular program of lectures on a wide variety of subjects.

The RISW, or Royal Institution of South Wales, are the friends of the museum.


Thank you for taking part!

Tell Their Story
