Inspecting a Welsh woollen blanket in the stores @AmgueddfaWlan. The Blanket Wall in the Textile Gallery displays a selection of the Museum’s extensive collection of blankets from woollen mills across Wales - a spell-binding story of the Welsh Woollen industry #SaveOurHeritage

Each year 100s of objects of archaeological significance are found by metal detectorists in Wales. Of these, around 75 are discoveries of Treasure as defined in the Treasure Act. PAS Cymru is the only mechanism in Wales that responds to archaeological finds made by the public.

Many of the staff who work across @AmgueddfaCymru have unique skills, such as the traditional craft skills on display @StFagans_Museum. It is vitally important that skills like these are preserved before they are lost

#Renoirtogo. Photography, documentation, registrars, preventive conservation, consolidation, retouching, new glass and panel insert, infrared and pigment analysis. All to prepare for the journey. @AmgueddfaCymru @NatHistConserve @NatMuseumArt @SF_Conservation

Did you know that @AmgueddfaCymru has over 5 million natural history specimens in its collections? These collections along with the expertise of the staff that look after and research them are an invaluable resource in monitoring environmental & climate change 🐯🕷️🪱🐌🦋🦀🦕🌼💎

John Kenyon FSA We remember with admiration our colleague John Kenyon. A distinguished scholar in medieval castle studies, @CastleKenyon was Honorary Research Fellow as well as librarian at @AmgueddfaCymru & recent President of @CambriansArch A real loss to Welsh #archaeology

The collections @AmgueddfaCymru need to be cared for by expert staff. They make them accessible across Cymru & the world, and carry out vital research in recognising & monitoring the diversity of animal and plant life. @WGCulture @WelshGovernment @HeritageCymru @ProspectUnion

Our conservation staff @AmgueddfaCymru work across our museum sites to preserve Welsh heritage. This in turn helps our learning staff, curators, volunteers, students and front of house to tell the story of Wales. #WorkingTogether @WGCulture @HeritageCymru @ProspectUnion

Museum Curators @AmgueddfaCymru support students to reach their full potential. We share transferable and specialist skills through the collections. Our students shadow us in our daily work, learning what goes on behind the scenes of a national museum.

Staff have digitised and shared over 30,000 images of artworks from the National Contemporary Art Collection online at celfarycyd.wales View collections not currently on display and find out how we care for the collection.
