We have been working with Museum Wales again last month to create their bilingual What's On brochure which includes all seven of their Museum's event's and exhibition's. National Waterfront Museum in Swansea was recently short listed as Best Free Venue in the First Rough Guide to Accessible Britain along with The National Gallery London, Horniman Museum & Gardens and The National Railway Museum.

We have just received some file copies of the a recent wedding brochure we designed for National Museum Wales. Designed to mirror the beautiful surroundings of the Museums, it is finished with a foil block and semi transparent paper.

We've been working with National Museum Wales for over 18 months now, and as we're just about to launch the next edition of their What's On publication, its great news when we discover that their archaeology department are celebrating!

Its exhibition Origins: in search of Early Wales has reached a staggering 250,000 visitors, just over two years since it opened. The Gallery follows the story of the first humans 230,000 years ago, to the end of the Middle Ages and showcases the rich archaeological collections and their stories.

“The exhibition has captivated many visitors and has been received very positively," said Richard Brewer, Keeper of Archaeology & Numismatics, Amgueddfa Cymru. "We hope in our future ambitious plans to present even more of the collections and tell more stories of Wales’ enthralling past.”

Entry to National Museum Wales and the exhibition is free, thanks to the support of the Welsh Assembly Government. A number of objects featured in Origins are included on the BBC’s A History of the World initiative – for more information go to the A History of the World website.

We have been working with Amgueddfa Cymru now for over a year. So far we have been involved in projects ranging from their public brand communications through to there corporate sector, and the branding and development of a new venture for them 'cerdd | music', so when asked if we wanted to consult on the development of their new restaurant in the bowels of the National Museum Cardiff, we jumped at the chance. Working with Digby Trout and Momentum we advise on the feel for the new restaurant and also the furniture to be placed in the space which would follow on form the brand development that we have been rolling out over the last year or so. Above are a few snap shots of before and after. As the restaurant has only just been opened there has not been any public feedback as of yet but internally the re-development has had a very positive response.

Towards the end of 2008 we were working closly with Hoffi Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales’ marketing team to research and deliver a brand that would reach out to new audiences for the museum. The result: Cerdd | Music 2009 a themed programme of events & exhibitions in 2009.

From Jakokoyak to The Victorian English Gentlemen’s Club, Dan Amor and Lily Green, Amgueddfa Cymru is inspiring some of the country’s best indie bands and upcoming musicians.

Part of the Cerdd | Music 09 programme, Respond will see artists working with curators from our seven museums to produce a musical response to the nation’s collections. Some of Wales’ emerging musical talent are submitting original tracks inspired by various exhibitions, displays and objects.

We are delighted to announce that we have been commissioned to design and produce the National Museum Wales' What's On Guide. The guide is produced each season and provides details of the up and coming events from all the Museums family. We have been working with them recently on their individual event brochures and now hope to carry on the new style into the What's On Guide.

Creative Director of Hoffi,Carwyn Lloyd Jones, Comments "We are really happy to be commissioned to produce the new What's On Guide for the Museum. We have had a great response from the event brochures and so are confident that we can make the What's On guide just as popular. There is also a sneak preview of another piece we have been working on with the Museum which will take place throughout 2009".

The first Guide will be produced early 2009 and distributed through the Museums distribution centre and also Audience Wales.

You may have heard from some of our individual blogs that we have recently been working with National Museum Wales on their marketing collateral for the next two years. The first items produced were the individual brochures for the museums and also an overall flyer for the family of Museums. Launched during this years Eistedfodd the publications have already had a very positive response, both internally within the Museum and externally through feedback from the Tourist Information Centre's around the country.

We will be continuing the work with the Museum over the next few months through a series of events and feedback sessions which will allow us to gauge and quantify the effects of the work produced.
