Final Decision

After much discussion and collaboration of previous information gathered from all three trips, Sian and I decided we were going to investigate the healing properties of both bees and fungi, in relation to different medicines. 

National Museum of Cardiff

I had always liked going to this museum when I was younger, so I was excited about this trip to find out interesting information for my podcast. The museum had many diverse exhibitions to explore, such as art, natural history and geology. Even though I found the museum very interesting Sian and I did not get a lot of valid information from it. However we were interested in one of the insect displayed in the museums as we were thinking of talking about bees in our podcast.  

St Fagans National History Museum

St Fagan’s is one of Europe’s leading open-air Museums and Wales‘s most popular heritage attractions. Even though when visiting this Museum Sian and I got a lot of information about Wales and our culture, we felt like this trip to St Fagans did not have a lot to offer in relation to helping us with our podcast as The Botanical Gardens did.

Sian and I had already decided before arriving there that the place we wanted to explore and could possibly be useful to us was the Future House within the St Fagans grounds.  We thought it would be fascinating to look at how they had used recycling and the new ways in how they were preserving energy with all the different and wonderful technology’s they had. I had read about in on the St Fagans website previous to going on this trip, unfortunately, when we arrived the Future House was closed, and we did not really find anything else in St Fagans very useful in relation to our assignment.
