Cardiff Museum Saved

This article was first published by WalesOnline.

Cardiff Council has made a U-turn on its controversial proposal to move its museum out of its historic home. The council revealed in December it was considering moving Cardiff Story Museum out of its current location at the Old Library on The Hayes and make it a mobile attraction to save money as it faced a huge budget shortfall.

But following backlash against the plans and protests held last weekend the council has said it will look to keep the museum at its current location for now. A spokesperson for the museum trustees said it would now undertake “a detailed examination of the best way to ensure a stable future for the museum. This will be conducted by a working party of the authority’s officials and trustees with formal terms of reference.”
