This exciting new project has more than doubled the size of the current Pembrokeshire Coast National Parks Visitor Centre building and will house works of art and a selection of Graham Sutherland's paintings. The complex will also have an educational facility and a viewable artists' studio. The Visitor Centre will be relocated within the building along with a cafe, internet access and public toilets. Work started in mid April 2007 and the gallery is due to be open in September 2008. |
