Doors open to 麻豆传媒高清版 museum collections
麻豆传媒高清版鈥檚 museum collections will be open to the public as a part of the events on Saturday 27 September.
The Open Doors event, led by Cadw, gives the public the opportunity to have a look at some of Gwynedd and Conwy鈥檚 historical buildings, gardens and interesting and unusual locations all for free throughout September.
This is an opportunity to visit the University鈥檚 Natural History Museum which is not usually accessible to the public to learn more about the animals and plants on display in addition to a chance to ask questions to the experts available. The Natural History Museum in the Brambell Building will be open to the public between 10am and 12pm.
There will also be guided tours of the University鈥檚 Art and Ceramic Collections led by an expert guide. Highlights include a mural by Edward Povey in Powis Hall, art and ceramics in the Council Chamber Corridor and a chance to see and learn about works of arts by other renowned artists such as Kyffin Williams, Brenda Chamberlain, Peter Prendergast and Frederick William Hayes. The guided tours will start from the foyer of the Main Arts Building at 1pm-2pm and 2:30pm-3:30pm.
