morning.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Cardiff Council confirmed to <em>The Cardiffian<\/em> that the museum has stopped taking donations, saying: \u201cThe team working at the museum decided it was a practical, temporary step ahead of a decision on whether it should become mobile or remain in the Old Library.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leader of Cardiff Liberal Democrats, Cllr Rodney Berman, called the move \u201ca disgraceful abuse of process\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plaid Cardiff Central said: \u201cWe wholeheartedly condemn the closing of The Cardiff Story and the underhand manner it\u2019s being done by Cardiff Labour.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The proposal is part of Cardiff Council&#8217;s response to the \u00a323.5m budget shortfall that it is facing in the next financial year \u2013 2023\/24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help fill this funding gap, they are planning to shift the Museum of Cardiff away from its current permanent home in The Hayes and instead make it a pop-up attraction that travels around the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Council\u2019s argument is that this will save them \u00a3266,000 a year and, if they are able to find the money and a suitable venue, they could then re-open it permanently in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, <a href=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/2023\/01\/20\/plan-to-reduce-museum-of-cardiff-to-pop-up-site-incredibly-ill-considered-expert-warns\/\">some are suggesting<\/a> that the move amounts to a soft closure, arguing that it jepeordises the museum&#8217;s ability to raise funds in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any changes to the museum \u2014 alongside cuts to other services and the leasing of St David&#8217;s Hall \u2014 are set to be finalised at the Council&#8217;s budget meeting on March 9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Liberal Democrat councillor
