St Fagans National Museum of History, Cardiff
This free-entry museum near Cardiff comprises more than 40 historical buildings from across Wales, re-erected on the grounds of Elizabethan manor house St Fagans Castle.
Stroll around the 100-acre site, and you’ll find buildings ranging from an Iron Age roundhouse to a Tudor merchant’s house, a Victorian school and an early-twentieth-century Workman’s Institute – all providing a fascinating insight into Welsh life through the centuries. Add in a swanky £30 million revamp, and it’s no wonder this place was named Art Fund Museum of the Year in 2019.
