More INFO:
You are invited to walk through Cardiff and tune into the secret life of 
the city. Navigate your way through the city’s Victorian
and Edwardian arcades and the Hayes area, listening to the reflections, 
histories, gossip and daydreams
of this place.

As you walk, listen and regard your surroundings, voices will emerge, 
inviting you to become a stranger in the city and to
chance upon an ordinary yet fantastic world..... perhaps the city is not 
just made up of buildings, maybe it’s a collection of
stories, connections, meetings, exchanges; people’s lives interwoven in 
time.

The Museum of the Moment is a museum of a moment, a place in time on the 
brink of change.

How? To experience the Museum of the Moment, you will be provided with a 
pair of headphones.

Where? Pick up and drop off your headphones at the Tourist Information 
Centre on the ground floor of Cardiff’s Old Library on
the Hayes (see the map below). Look for the Museum of the Moment booth.

How much? It’s free to take the walk, but you’ll need to leave a driving 
licence/ passport or a £20 deposit per set of
headphones borrowed. These will be returned to you when you bring your 
headphones back.

‘The Museum of the Moment’ is a project by artist Jennie Savage. It is 
part of ‘The Arcades Project: a 3D Documentary’, a series of projects 
exploring Cardiff’s Victorian and Edwardian shopping arcades using 
storytelling, documentary, localised phenomena and historical 
methodologies. It is inspired by Walter Benjamin’s Arcades Project and 
created in the light of the construction of the St David’s 2 Shopping 
Centre. Jennie Savage is an artist whose work explores the notion of 
place in relation to time.

Savage has developed a site-specific practice, which seeks to navigates 
space, creating projects that invite people to re-explore ‘place’ 
through archives, installation, intervention and micro-documentaries.
