Why does Cardiff need a barrage?
Find out in this new exhibition that looks at the mark major floods have left on Cardiff, and the effect they’ve had on the people who lived through them.
The exhibition highlights the efforts of the city’s inhabitants to protect themselves from the water and looks at what’s been done to minimise the risk of flooding.
It also explores the causes and impact of the devastating flood of 1607 and features memories of more recent flooding - including the story of one of the city’s best-known flood survivors, Billy the Seal.
Throughout the exhibition there will be fun activities for all ages - contact us for more details.
