'A Cardiffian place' - new city history museum created by public opens

"Housed in the Victorian grade-II listed Old Library building slap bang in the city centre in the Hayes, The Cardiff Story is made up of a number of spaces to tell the city's 200-year history.

Cardiff in Context on the ground floor sweeps through the years of Cardiff's development – providing a comprehensive overview from a small town to a major coal exporter and capital city. Here the objects donated by members of the public sit in glass cases – which make up much of the museums content."
