St Fagans National History Museum
St Fagans National History Museum, Folk museum in St Fagans, Wales.
St Fagans National History Museum is an open-air museum in St Fagans, Wales, covering more than 100 acres of parkland. The site displays over 50 historic buildings brought from across Wales and reassembled to show how people lived in different periods.
The Earl of Plymouth gave St Fagans Castle and its grounds to the nation in 1946. The museum opened two years later as the first open-air museum in Wales and began collecting buildings from across the country.
The site maintains traditional Welsh crafts through active workshops where visitors observe blacksmiths, potters, and weavers creating items using historical methods.
Entry is free but visitors pay for parking on the site. Allow at least three hours to walk through the buildings and gardens without rushing.
Each building was carefully taken apart at its original site and moved stone by stone to St Fagans. The reconstruction followed the original methods to keep the structures true to their form.
