Collection history (Wikipedia)
Cardiff Castle is not fully furnished, as the furniture and fittings in the castle were removed by the marquess in 1947 and subsequently disposed of; an extensive restoration has been carried out, however, of the fittings originally designed for the Clock Tower by Burges. The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, founded in 1949, was housed in the castle’s main lodgings for many years, but moved into the castle’s former stables north of the castle in 1998. A new interpretation centre, which opened in 2008, was built alongside the South Gate at a cost of £6 million, and the castle also contains “Firing Line”, the joint regimental museum of the 1st The Queen’s Dragoon Guards and the Royal Welsh.
