Simply unacceptable. Wales cannot lose the flagship building of its National Museum. Our Museum. This is a line in the sand. If you allow this pillar of our society and heritage to die you will never get it back. Protect her. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Petition: Increase, don’t cut, funding for the National Library, Amgueddfa Cymru and the Royal Commission "We call upon the Welsh Government to increase spending on institutions that safeguard the heritage and history of Wales instead of cutting funding." petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/2460…

And not only the heritage of Wales: National Museums Wales boasts one of Europe’s finest art collections: it would be a travesty to close it.
