Just because it’s ‘digital’ doesn’t mean its up to the Digital Department do everything digital for you.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

Just because it’s ‘digital’ doesn’t mean its up to the Digital Department do everything digital for you.

It’s a bit like asking IT to send out all your emails for you.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

This thinking was the catalyst for the Digital Media Department at Amgueddfa Cymru.

Website Notices: Small stick syndrome...

Website Notices: Small stick syndrome...For the remainder of this year, galleries 12, 13, 14 and 15 will be used for the preparation, display and then dismantling of our major art exhibition, Richard Wilson (1714-1782) and the Transformation of European Landscape Painting. These galleries would normally display British art from around 1900, art after Cezanne and modern art from 1930. Meanwhile, galleries 11 and 16 will remain open throughout the year, where visitors can enjoy our world-class collection of French art from the 19th century and French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works. Artists featured in these galleries include Cezanne, Degas, Monet, Manet, Renoir, Rodin, and van Gogh. The galleries displaying historic art and contemporary art will be unaffected by these changes.Following the Richard Wilson exhibition, the galleries will be re-opened with their normal themes by 20 December 2014.
