The National Museum of Wales...

I have always liked the National Museum of Wales. I like its setting in Cathays Park in Cardiff, I like its architecture and I like its art collection. I also like the fact that it's completely free to view most exhibitions.

The art collection at the National Museum of Wales is world class. You can find there works by Honoré Daumier, Jean-François Millet, Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Auguste Rodin, Augustus John (that's his portrait of Dylan Thomas on the right), Gwen John, Ceri Richards, Kyffin Williams, Jacob Epstein, Eric Gill, Stanley Spencer, L. S. Lowry, Peter Blake, Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon, Frank Auerbach and many others.

If you work in the centre of Cardiff, it's not a bad way to spend the occasional lunch hour; drifting through the serene galleries gazing on these masterpieces. Let's face it, its got to be better than dodging the chuggers on Queen St in the rain
