Explores the different ways in which Wales and Welshness have been represented in the national museums of Wales. This book examines how branches of the National Museums and Galleries of Wales are enlisted to narrate certain national stories as opposed to others, and how this correlates with changing perceptions of Welsh identities.

Museums play an important role not only shaping a society’s view of its past, but also its understanding of national identity in the present moment. This fascinating volume explores the varying ways in which Wales and Welsh identity have been represented in the nation’s museums over the years. Beginning with a proposal for the creation of a National Museum in the 1880s and ending with devolution, Museums, Nations, Identities examines how Wales’s museums are continually enlisted to narrate certain national stories as opposed to others—and what this indicates about the changing perceptions of Welsh identity in the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries.
