It’s not advertised anywhere near enough by Visit Wales! I lived in Cardiff for 3 years, and only found out it existed after 2 years of living there.
Sorry state of affairs, and my thoughts go out to the 90 lost jobs.
I think that culturally we need to protect things like our museums and *if* we plan on removing their funding, we should do so with much more notice.
For example, a museum might be able to raise money by selling space to other exhibit, selling off a portion of its collections, encouraging donations, or even appealing to certain charities, but those types of scheme all take time to arrange. Similarly, making staff redundant is not ideal, especially on relatively short notice.
It would be much better for everyone if the museum had two or three years of notice regarding a budget cut. Even if they can’t get by on the new funding levels, they’d be able to wind things up much more gracefully.

If only it were a tree planting scheme
