Lost Words Exhibition
The award-winning book, The Lost Words, uses stirring spell-songs and eye-catching illustrations to reintroduce the fading faces of nature to our vocabularies and in turn, inspire us to join the fight to reverse their plight.
In an unique partnership between Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales and two Welsh National Park Authorities, the best-selling book will be brought to life in exhibitions at Yr Ysgwrn, Trawsfynydd.
