As a work of art WMC connects with the imagination and as a national institution, it communicates a statement about a nation.
Behind every concept is a force, which both drives and inspires. What you see in and around WMC has been inspired by Wales, its landscape, its traditions and its people.

Landscape
The power of the elements to shape landforms and the capacity of industry to transform landscapes echoes throughout WMC. From metal and slate to wood and glass there can be no doubt that WMC is unmistakably Welsh.

Culture
WMC was built as a ?stage for a nation? for the cultural enjoyment of all and designed to showcase and nurture creative talent at its best. But it was also designed and built to reflect the ?spirit of a nation?. Just as Wales? landscape has inspired creativity and excellence, so too has its culture.
