[edit] West Wales Museum of Childhood
The West Wales Museum of Childhood is a new project which opened its doors[1] in early 2005 and now forms a major educational resource in South and West Wales.
[edit] Location
It is located in Llangeler being near to the historic town of Newcastle Emlyn along the A484 road, the Carmarthen to Cardigan road. It is sited in the River Teifi river valley only a short distance from the Welsh National Woollen Museum (latterly known as the National Wool Museum) at Drefach Felindre.
[edit] Exhibits
There are more than 10,000 exhibits on display in the five galleries of the museum, some of which may be viewed on the Museum’s official website [2]. The whole of the museum complex complies with high standards of accessibility. The museum has also been awarded accreditation under VisitWales VAQAS -the Welsh Assembly Government’s Visitor Attraction Quality Accreditation Scheme [3]
The museum is a privately run enterprise and receives no outside funding. It is dependent upon attracting tourists as well as students and study groups in order to be viable and available as an community and educational resource.
