CARDIFF, WALES.- Wales has many fascinating stories to tell through the work of the artists and collectors from, or inspired by, Wales. A number of these stories are told in the new £6.5m National Museum of Art ( Amgueddfa Cymru ), which opened to the public on Saturday 9th of July. For the first time, the full range of the nation’s world-class art collection – a mix of fine and applied art, from the historic to the contemporary – is displayed under one roof at National Museum Cardiff, giving a new visibility to art in Wales and the art of Wales. The National Museum of Art features six impressive new contemporary art galleries, which offer 40% more space to display art from post-1950. Until now the Museum had only one gallery to display its range of modern and contemporary art, which is one of the UK’s most important collections.
