    Changing Places Toilet

    The Changing Places toilet at the National Museum can be found on the lower floor, which is accessed via the lift. It has the essentials, although the layout leaves a little to be desired. This review is specific to the Changing Places toilet at the National Museum, but it may contain some additional accessibility information.

    Excellent exhibitions, superb staff and a few access issues

    Opened in 1912, the National Museum Cardiff has History, Art, and Archaeology – terrible joke. With artwork covering a period of over six centuries, including works by Monet, Cézanne, and Van Gogh, as well as bones, fossils, and natural history exhibitions, it's a great place to spend the day, barring some small access issues. The building is somewhat evocative of the Capitol building in Washington, with its domed roof and admission is free, which is what we like to hear!
