Mather & Co is to redesign a museum dedicated to former Prime Minister, Lloyd George.
The Gwynedd-based attraction aims to provide a contemporary telling of Lloyd George’s political and personal life, showcasing his influence and legacy.
The Cheshire studio will carry out the design and build, including museum design, content development, object selection, graphic design & artwork, delivery and fit-out including digital media, showcases, object mounts, interactive installations and lighting.
“We are delighted to have been appointed to work on the redevelopment the Lloyd George Museum, utilising its rich collections and research to honour his enduring legacy while connecting to contemporary perspectives,” said Jennifer Kherlopian, Project Manager at Mather & Co.
“We have worked hard to create a sustainable offer which will further enhance the beautiful village of Llanystumdwy and create an unforgettable visitor experience that celebrates both history and progress.”
Councillor Nia Jeffreys, Cyngor Gwynedd deputy leader and Cabinet Member for Economy and Community added:
“Lloyd George is one of Gwynedd’s most famous sons and the museum dedicated to him at Llanystumdwy has been a real gem for anyone interested in local, national and international history.
“The museum gives an insight into what life would have been like for the future British Prime Minister growing up in rural north-west Wales in the late 1800s, as well as artefacts from his political career up to 1945, but is now dated and in need of new showcases. We are hoping to make Lloyd George’s story relevant to the people of Gwynedd as well as national and international visitors of all ages.
“I am pleased that the work to reinterpret and modernise the museum is coming along well and look forward to seeing the new-look facility open its doors soon to welcome new and returning visitors.”
The project is being funded partly by the UK Government and is set to reopen in Spring 2025.
