I am pleased to be able to update Members about the ongoing work to investigate the potential for Wales to establish a contemporary art gallery, a national football museum and a national archive.


A series of feasibility studies were commissioned as part of the budget deal between the Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru. Last year, I published the outcome of the studies on the contemporary art gallery and the football museum which proposed a distributed model of existing museums and galleries to ensure nationwide access to the national collection of contemporary art, and developing Wrexham Museum as a showcase for our footballing heritage. We have continued to progress the development of these two initiatives, although the pandemic has had an inevitable impact.


**Contemporary Art Gallery** 


Following the conclusions of the initial feasibility study for the contemporary art gallery in July 2018, carried out in partnership with the Arts Council of Wales and Amgueddfa Cymru, the Rural Office for Architecture (ROA) was commissioned to carry out an initial high level impact assessment and risk position for each venue identified on the select list. The ROA is now conducting more detailed work and a final report is due in February. 


The steering group has continued to work through the pandemic and has supported a number of digital projects to entertain and educate. These were developed under the banner Celf ar y Cyd and include:


* **Art 100 Celf** – Using a dynamic interactive digital platform, people are able to devise and curate an exhibition from works in Amgueddfa Cymru’s art collection. The platform currently includes a mix of different media content, artworks with accompanying information, stories, videos and interviews. Each of the artists’ graphic identities for Celf ar y Cyd is featured with profiles of the individual artists. The project is featured on Instagram, Amgueddfa Cymru’s website and the AM Platform.


* **Art in hospitals** – Amgueddfa Cymru is working with five health boards to select items from the art collection for the field hospitals. Staff have been choosing the art and curatorial control has been handed over to each health board. The images will be located in staff wellbeing rooms and are intended to soothe, calm and uplift.


* **Artists respond to the now** – The original feasibility study highlighted the need for new contemporary art. A series of creative commissions are being taken forward over a 12\-month period providing exciting opportunities for creative content and new forms of audience engagement to be tested.


* **The collection as a springboard (Cynfas)** – This project engages with a diverse range of voices in a Wales\-wide conversation about the national collection, reaching out to new communities and provides a great wealth of material that can be shaped into engaging and interactive stories. In a magazine format, featuring stories produced by a wide a variety of people. Authors and contributors will include artists and writers, members and clients of partner organisations such as the Wallich, Llamau and Save the Children. Two editions have been published so far: https://museum.wales/Cynfas/


**National Football Museum** 


A steering group has been established to take forward the work to develop a national football museum. Wrexham Council is leading the project, which will redevelop Wrexham Museum. The museum will work alongside communities to encourage participation and inspire visitors from all backgrounds. The project will complement other developments in Wrexham including the FAW National Training Centre at Collier’s Park, the Wrexham FC Professional Training Centre at the Groves, and the Wrexham Gateway redevelopment of the Racecourse Ground.


Consultants Fourth Street were appointed in the summer to draw up a detailed business plan and case for investment. This work has now concluded and the recommendations are currently being considered by the steering group. The main focus of the work is to maximise space available in the current museum building and to relocate reserve collections.  A design tender is being advertised for the next stage of the work and the council is seeking two new staff members to support the project.


The 2018 feasibility study also recommended an expert panel for sporting heritage in Wales should be established. I have asked Sporting Heritage, a specialised charitable company, to lead this work and 16 sports and heritage organisations are currently represented on the panel which has met virtually to develop a framework for action.


**National Archive** 


The feasibility report which I am now publishing identified and appraised a range of potential models for delivery of a national archive function for Wales, based on a comprehensive review of current public records systems and legislation, an analysis of national archive models, profiling of current archival provision in Wales, discussions with key national and sector stakeholders and international comparators:  https://gov.wales/national\-archive\-wales\-feasibility\-study


Further work has been deferred due to the pandemic. It will now be for the next Welsh Government to determine how this project is taken forward.

Rwy’n falch o allu rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r Aelodau am y gwaith sy'n mynd rhagddo i ymchwilio i'r potensial i Gymru sefydlu oriel gelf gyfoes, amgueddfa bêl\-droed genedlaethol ac archif genedlaethol.


Comisiynwyd cyfres o astudiaethau dichonoldeb fel rhan o'r cytundeb cyllideb rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a Phlaid Cymru. Y llynedd, cyhoeddais ganlyniad yr astudiaethau ar yr oriel gelf gyfoes a'r amgueddfa bêl\-droed a gynigiodd fodel ar wasgar o amgueddfeydd ac orielau sydd eisoes yn bodoli i sicrhau mynediad cenedlaethol i'r casgliad cenedlaethol o gelf gyfoes, a datblygu Amgueddfa Wrecsam fel llwyfan i'n treftadaeth bêl\-droed. Rydym wedi parhau i ddatblygu'r ddwy fenter hyn, er bod y pandemig wedi cael effaith anochel yn hynny o beth.


**Oriel Gelf Gyfoes** 


Yn dilyn casgliadau’r astudiaeth ddichonoldeb wreiddiol ar gyfer yr oriel gelf gyfoes ym mis Gorffennaf 2018, a gynhaliwyd mewn partneriaeth â Chyngor Celfyddydau Cymru ac Amgueddfa Cymru, comisiynwyd y Swyddfa Wledig ar gyfer Pensaernïaeth (ROA) i gyflawni asesiad effaith lefel uchel cychwynnol ac asesiad risg ar gyfer pob lleoliad a nodwyd ar y rhestr ddethol. Mae ROA bellach yn gwneud mwy o waith manwl a dylai’r adroddiad terfynol fod yn barod ym mis Chwefror.


Mae'r grŵp llywio wedi parhau i weithio drwy'r pandemig ac wedi cefnogi nifer o brosiectau digidol i ddiddanu ac addysgu. Datblygwyd y rhain o dan faner Celf ar y Cyd ac maent yn cynnwys:


* **Art 100 Celf** – Gan ddefnyddio llwyfan digidol rhyngweithiol deinamig, gall pobl ddyfeisio a churadu arddangosfa o weithiau yng nghasgliad celf Amgueddfa Cymru. Ar hyn o bryd mae'r platfform yn cynnwys cymysgedd o wahanol gynnwys cyfryngau, gweithiau celf gyda gwybodaeth gysylltiedig, storïau, fideos a chyfweliadau. Mae pob un o hunaniaethau graffig yr artistiaid ar gyfer Celf ar y Cyd yn cynnwys proffiliau o'r artistiaid unigol. Mae'r prosiect i'w weld ar Instagram, gwefan Amgueddfa Cymru a Phlatfform AM.


* **Celf mewn Ysbytai** \- Mae Amgueddfa Cymru yn gweithio gyda phum bwrdd iechyd i ddewis eitemau o'r casgliad celf ar gyfer yr ysbytai maes. Mae'r staff wedi bod yn dewis y gwaith celf ac mae rheolaeth guradurol wedi'i throsglwyddo i bob bwrdd iechyd. Bydd y delweddau yn cael eu rhoi yn ystafelloedd lles staff a bwriedir iddynt gysuro, tawelu a chodi calon y sawl sy’n edrych arnynt.


* **Artistiaid yn ymateb i’r presennol** – Amlygodd yr astudiaeth ddichonoldeb wreiddiol yr angen am gelf gyfoes newydd. Mae cyfres o gomisiynau creadigol yn cael eu datblygu dros gyfnod o 12 mis gan ddarparu cyfleoedd cyffrous ar gyfer profi cynnwys creadigol a dulliau newydd o ymgysylltu â chynulleidfaoedd.


* **Y casgliad fel sbardun (Cynfas)** – Mae'r prosiect hwn yn ymgysylltu ag amrywiaeth eang o leisiau mewn sgwrs ledled Cymru am y casgliad cenedlaethol, gan estyn allan at gymunedau newydd ac mae'n darparu cyfoeth mawr o ddeunydd y gellir ei lunio mewn straeon diddorol a rhyngweithiol. Ar fformat cylchgrawn, mae’n cynnwys straeon a luniwyd gan amrywiaeth eang o bobl. Bydd awduron a chyfranwyr yn cynnwys artistiaid ac awduron, aelodau a chleientiaid sefydliadau partner fel y Wallich, Llamau ac Achub y Plant. Mae dau rifyn wedi'u cyhoeddi hyd yn hyn: https://museum.wales/Cynfas/


**Amgueddfa Bel\-droed Genedlaethol** 


Mae grŵp llywio wedi'i sefydlu i fwrw ymlaen a'r gwaith i ddatblygu amgueddfa bêl\-droed genedlaethol. Cyngor Wrecsam sy'n arwain y prosiect, a fydd yn ailddatblygu Amgueddfa Wrecsam. Bydd yr amgueddfa'n gweithio ochr yn ochr â chymunedau i annog cyfranogiad ymwelwyr o bob cefndir a’u hysbrydoli. Bydd y prosiect yn ategu datblygiadau eraill yn Wrecsam gan gynnwys Canolfan Hyfforddi Genedlaethol Cymdeithas Bêl\-droed Cymru ym Mharc Collier, Canolfan Hyfforddiant Proffesiynol Clwb Pêl\-droed Wrecsam yn y Groves, ac ailddatblygiad Porth Wrecsam ar faes y Cae Ras.


Penodwyd yr ymgynghorwyr Fourth Street yn yr haf i lunio cynllun busnes manwl ac achos dros fuddsoddi. Mae'r gwaith hwn bellach wedi dod i ben ac mae'r argymhellion yn cael eu hystyried ar hyn o bryd gan y grŵp llywio. Prif ffocws y gwaith yw gwneud y defnydd gorau o'r lle sydd ar gael yn adeilad yr amgueddfa ac adleoli casgliadau wrth gefn.  Mae tendr dylunio yn cael ei hysbysebu ar gyfer cam nesaf y gwaith ac mae'r cyngor yn chwilio am ddau aelod newydd o staff i gefnogi'r prosiect.


Argymhellodd astudiaeth ddichonoldeb 2018 hefyd y dylid sefydlu panel arbenigol ar gyfer treftadaeth chwaraeon yng Nghymru. Rwyf wedi gofyn i Sporting Heritage, cwmni elusennol arbenigol, arwain y gwaith hwn ac mae 16 o sefydliadau chwaraeon a threftadaeth yn cael eu cynrychioli ar y panel ar hyn o bryd sydd wedi cynnal cyfarfod rhithwir i ddatblygu fframwaith gweithredu.


**Archif Cenedlaethol** 


Mae'r adroddiad dichonoldeb yr wyf yn ei gyhoeddi'n awr wedi nodi a gwerthuso amrywiaeth o fodelau posibl ar gyfer cyflawni swyddogaeth archif genedlaethol i Gymru, yn seiliedig ar adolygiad cynhwysfawr o systemau a deddfwriaeth cofnodion cyhoeddus cyfredol, dadansoddiad o fodelau archifau cenedlaethol, proffilio'r ddarpariaeth archifol bresennol yng Nghymru, trafodaethau gyda rhanddeiliaid allweddol cenedlaethol ac o fewn sectorau a chymaryddion rhyngwladol: https://llyw.cymru/archif\-genedlaethol\-i\-gymru\-astudiaeth\-ddichonoldeb


Mae gwaith pellach wedi'i ohirio oherwydd y pandemig. Mater i Lywodraeth nesaf Cymru yn awr fydd penderfynu sut y caiff y prosiect hwn ei ddatblygu.
