Butetown History and Arts Centre

If you're ever in the Cardiff Bay area with a bit of time to spare take a free stroll round this gallery. It's bright and airy with massive skylights that let the sun stream in. Opened to celebrate the fascinating multi–cultural history of one of the oldest parts of the city, the gallery has regular exhibitions of photographs, art and memorabilia, often donated by ex–residents themselves. You'd never know from the bustling modern city centre less than a mile away that Cardiff had such a rich and surprising past.
