Friends of National Museum Wales - Cyfeillion Amgueddfa Cymru

The members of Friends Museum Wales, founded in 1955, support and promote the National Museums of Wales, raising substantial funds to finance projects across the seven sites.

Friends' events bring members together to share their enthusiasm for the Museum and give National Museum Wales funding which we raise through:

members' annual subscriptions
excursions of varying duration to places of interest in the UK and abroad
monthly public lectures and Zoom talks on topics of artistic, historical and scientific interest and other activities such as concerts and 'behind the scenes’ Museum visits
our annual Christmas lunch
donations and gifts

Here are examples of some ways the funds donated by the Friends have supported National Museum Wales:


National Museum Cardiff The Friends funding of Watkin Williams-Wynne’s organ recitals resumes following servicing.	National Slate Museum The Friends awarded a grant to enable the restoration of the Smith Rodley excavator	National Roman Legion Museum The Friends awarded a grant to develop the Pegasus Centre.
