A World of Mystery: the life of Margaret Watts Hughes 

Join us for this free talk with Chris Parry!

The name of Margaret Watts Hughes will not be familiar to many, but it certainly should be. A Dowlais born, child vocalist of great fame, who grew to be known across the country for her voice. Fascinated by sound she invented a way of making the human voice visible. To her there was an invisible world of mystery that sound revealed, and she was at the forefront of revealing that world.

A selection of Margaret Watts Hughes Voice Figures, chosen by Heather, are currently on display in Room 8 from Cyfarthfa Castle Museum and Art Gallery Collection as part of the Out of this World exhibition.

This event is part of a programme of activities to celebrate Heather Phillipson’s Out of this World exhibition. 

Free, booking essential.
