Hosting one of Europe’s finest collections of art, geology and natural history, the National Museum of Cardiff explores the evolution of Wales through several fascinating exhibits.
Wheelchair users can enjoy entry to all galleries, as well as free disabled parking with level access to the entrance. Hireable wheelchairs and mobile seating sticks are also provided, subject to availability. In addition to our accessible toilets there is a Changing Places facility on level one. The Changing place is equipped with a hoist and adjustable bed.
Individuals with visual impairments can request guided assistance and free audio description tours are on offer for groups. There is also a touch trail within the Natural History galleries and guide dogs are permitted. For those with hearing impairments, induction loops are supplied throughout and there is a good standard of written material available to support the collections.
The Museum can sometimes be crowded and noisy. We have a limited number of ear defenders for adults and children. If you would like to borrow these during your visit, please enquire at the Welcome Desk. The quietest time to visit the Museum is usually from 3pm.
