The Museum of Cardiff is a small museum in the center of the city with free admission. Various exhibitions detail the history of the city, including various trades. There are fun facts galore. It is well worth popping into, especially if the weather outside isn’t pleasant!nnI was fortunate that during my stay in Cardiff the weather was nice. But have a look at the forecast and plan accordingly. This museum is perfect for an hour or two on a cold or rainy Cardiff day.

While the space is limited, it’s thoughtfully curated and includes a few engaging activities for children, making it a nice stop for families.

This museum is geared towards children and families. There are many nice interactive exhibits and I think it would be a great place for a school field trip! I really enjoyed the special Trinity Methodist Church exhibit downstairs. This museum was a quick top for me and was a nice way to learn a bit about Cardiff! It is free to visit which was nice.
