| We
often visit places far afield, but now you have a chance to visit one
of the wonderful resources provided by National Museum Wales. We are
pleased to be able to offer you a visit to the Library in Cathays Park.
The room was purpose built and still has original furniture and
fittings. Kristine Chapman and her staff support the work of the
Museum's curatorial staff, but also provide access to external
researchers by appointment. The contents of the Library reflect the diverse nature of Amgueddfa Cymru's collections, covering subjects such as: Archaeology, Fine and Applied Art, Industrial and Social History, The Natural Sciences and Museum Studies. Besides the general reference material and the museology collection, the Main Library holds all the pre-1701 books in the Library, together with a number of other special collections such as the Willoughby Gardner collection of early natural history books, as well as books printed by the Gregynog Press. (see Jennifer Evans, ‘The Gregynog Press Collection of Special Bindings’, Friends’ Newsletter and Magazine, October 2016 p.7.) PROGRAMME: Assemble at 10 am in the Museum café in the central hall for tea/coffee where we will divide into two groups. One group will visit the Library for a talk and view the special collections on display. The second group will visit the Court Room where there will be a talk and a chance to view documents and photographs relating to the Museum’s foundation and history. Then the groups will change over. The visit will end at approximately 12pm when you will be able to have lunch in the NMW’s excellent café should you wish to do so.
