National Slate Museum

This museum-with-a -difference is based in the original Victorian Engineering Workshops that serviced the vast Dinorwig Slate Quarry from its heyday in the 1870's to its closure in 1969.The site was opened as a Museum in 1972 - the world's only national slate museum - and the north Wales headquarters of Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales - attracting over 140,000 visitors a year! The workmen might have gone, but the museum remains a living place with an authentic working atmosphere. The quarry workshops are still in regular use - visitors can see the foundry, the old office and the smithy, where the blacksmith is kept busy producing tools for the museum as well as quality items for sale in the attractive museum shop . The museum carpenter will take you on a guided tour of the saw sheds and you can marvel at the giant waterwheel - one of the world's largest, which drove machinery through a complicated system of belts and pulleys and continues to turn today.
