The Museum of Welsh Life at St. Fagans is an open-air museum whose goal is to celebrate the culture and history of the Welsh people. Here, visitors are whisked back nearly 2,000 years to see a reconstructed Celtic settlement, then slowly walked through history to the present day and on to the still-in-progress "House of the Future." Exhibits you'll see along the way include a Victorian schoolroom, manor home, and pre-war grocery.
