Summary
COI synopsis: Michele Brown visits a museum with a difference - not a single glass case in sight, but, instead a hundred acres of open parkland. It’s a whole village of buildings, some dating from the 15th century, which have been brought from all parts of Wales and re-erected as a working monument to Welsh rural history.
Researcher Comments
The museum is St Fagans Welsh Folk Museum, Cardiff. NB: Information gathered from the Australian version
