Is a self-portrait the original selfie? Our exciting new Amgueddfa Cymru exhibition Art of the Selfie explores and asks this question, looking at how artists through time, from Rembrandt and Van Gogh to Bedwyr Williams and Anya Paintsil, see and represent themselves.
Throughout history, many artists have used self-portraits as ways to explore their identities and express themselves to the world. Van Gogh painted no fewer than thirty-five self-portraits and so became arguably one of the most recognizable faces in Western art. This exhibition will feature Van Gogh’s Portrait of the Artist (1887), which is on loan from Musée d’Orsay, Paris. 
Joining Van Gogh will be a selection of artists from the national collection of Wales, including
Together they showcase a wide range of different methods and artistic approaches to the concept of the self-portrait. 
Self-portraits and selfies are two different things, but they do have something in common - both are used to show who you are as a person. Out of all the ways we document our lives, selfies have become a popular method of self-expression and individualism. 
The works on display show the different ways in which artists have chosen to characterize themselves in the same way we present and share images of ourselves today. How do you see yourself?

An amazing castle and visiting the grounds was a treat. Full of history and going through the surroundings, it wasn&#39;t repetitive and not boring at all. I absolutely loved it and it&#39;s was very interesting. I love the Arab Room and the war shelters.
Reasonable priced tickets compared to the Royal castle prices.
I highly recommend this visit for all ages.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
I love Cardiff. It&#39;s so refreshing compared to London.

Pleasant enough way to spend a couple of hours. Went primarily to see the paintings but (and of course this is entirely a matter of personal taste) there wasnt a lot to rock my boat and not a lot of range. Some of the pottery was quite interesting but could have been better displayed. The natural history section on the ground floor was rather more interesting than expected- not too &quot;dry&quot;
