Here is Cardiff city council 'consultation' / proposal to close your @TheCardiffStory going to cabinet 22nd Dec.
I am an expert on this- it is expensive to move a museum. A mobile or virtual museum is just a proposal to close by stealth.
How much is #CardiffsStory worth to you?

@TheCardiffStory delivers.
It connects future generations to their stories @futuregencymru . It supports community building @CAERHeritage.
It provides #DinkyDragons for families & memory box work for reminiscing.
#CardiffsStory connects us all, yet the council wants it gone.

@TheCardiffStory was built using money from the lottery.
Your money for your heritage.
How dare #CARDIFF city council squander our legacy?
The capital city of Wales with nowhere to tell its story. Why would the lottery trust Cardiff with cash ever again?
Save #CardiffsStory

The savings proposed will include redundancies, including agency staff. How will their well-being be protected? These savings mean more families without work and yet another public space lost in our hollowed out city.
Short term economics and lives ruined.
Save #CardiffsStory

We love @TheCardiffStory not just because of the £1000s of public money invested but because it is a place about our place. From the buildings of Cardiff to the things people brought here when they made Cardiff like this Ethiopian Coffee pot. We are All #CardiffsStory.

How long have we sustained our city pride?
Opened in 2011 to 'present a vibrant & sophisticated introduction to the city’s rich heritage' & 'act as a community resource and venue for lifelong learning for people of all ages & backgrounds.'
