Complex to relocate to Cardiff from current Aldershot base
Scott Brownrigg’s designs for the Museum of Military Medicine’s new home have been given the green light.
The proposals, which will see the museum relocate from its current base in military barracks at Aldershot in Hampshire to new digs in the Welsh capital, were approved by Cardiff council late last month.
The museum will be built in the Butetown area of Cardiff
The existing museum’s collections, which contain more than 30,000 objects ranging from uniforms, medals, medical equipment, personal artefacts and photographic archives, tell the story about the history of military medicine from the English Civil War to the present day.

Plans have been approved for a museum of military medicine on the site of a playground and open space in Cardiff Bay despite thousands of objections.
The museum, based at barracks in Surrey, is set to move to Britannia Park, opposite the Norwegian Church.
A new five-storey building costing £30m will include hi-tech exhibitions, offices and teaching space.
A petition with more than 2,500 names objected to the loss of open space, but backers promised new jobs and visitors.
