Welcome / Croeso We are very pleased to announce the launch of our offsite programme for the autumn, and offer you a warm welcome to our future activities.

Mae’n bleser gennym gyhoeddi lansiad ein rhaglen oddi ar y safle gyntaf ar gyfer yr hydref, a chynnig croeso cynnes i chi i’n gweithgareddau yn y dyfodol.

The Gallery is now closed for refurbishment, due to re-open in 2014, and our team has been relocated to offices at the city’s Guildhall.

Mae’r Oriel ar gau yn awr ar gyfer gwaith adnewyddu, a disgwylir iddi ailagor yn 2014, ac mae ein tîm wedi cael ei adleoli i swyddfeydd yn Neuadd y Ddinas.

Our offsite programme includes exciting exhibition projects at different venues in Swansea, whilst our lively learning programmes are up and running at the YMCA in the city centre.

Mae ein rhaglen oddi ar y safle’n cynnwys prosiectau arddangos cyffrous mewn lleoliadau gwahanol yn Abertawe. Mae ein rhaglenni dysgu bywiog ar waith yn y YMCA yng nghanol y ddinas.

Highlights of our collections are on display at Amgueddfa CymruNational Museum Wales and behind the scenes we are busy researching and conserving the Richard Glynn Vivian bequest ready for our re-opening.

Mae uchafbwyntiau ein casgliadau’n cael eu harddangos yn Amgueddfa Cymru, a thu ôl i’r llenni, rydym yn brysur yn ymchwilio i roddion Richard Glynn Vivian ac yn eu diogelu yn barod ar gyfer yr ailagoriad.

We hope you will enjoy our offsite programme during this transitional period, whilst much needed care is given to the Gallery. Thank you for your support, we will keep you informed of developments. To join in on-line or for more information, please see below.

Rydym yn gobeithio y byddwch yn mwynhau ein rhaglen oddi ar y safle yn ystod y cyfnod hwn o newid,wrth i’r Oriel gael sylw mawr ei angen. Diolch i chi am eich cefnogaeth. Byddwn yn eich hysbysu am ddatblygiadau. I ymuno â ni ar-lein neu am fwy o wybodaeth, gweler isod.
