Machynlleth children get up close and personal with art from The National Library of Wales

On Wednesday 19 March 2025, the pupils of Ysgol Bro Hyddgen had the special experience of seeing the painting Ovis Alarmed (1973) by Tony Steele-Morgan brought right into their classroom.

This unique opportunity originally stemmed from the National Library of Wales’s participation in ‘Masterpieces in Schools' – a scheme by Art UK to bring children face-to-face with great works of art inside their classroom, breaking down traditional barriers to art.

Preserving the Nation’s Memory

The Library was established with donations given by the people of Wales, and together we can continue that tradition. Donate to ensure our heritage for future generations. All gifts will make a real difference.
