Sir Bryn Terfel will narrate a new immersive experience celebrating Welsh artist Sir Kyffin Williams, opening at the National Library of Wales in November 2026.
Sir Bryn Terfel will narrate the Profiad Kyffin Experience, a new immersive exhibition celebrating Welsh artist Sir Kyffin Williams. The experience opens to the public on 18 November 2026 at the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth and promises a unique 30-minute journey into the world of one of Wales' most celebrated visual artists.
The experience combines immersive digital projection and interactive storytelling, with Sir Kyffin's distinctive brushwork and textured palette knife paintings digitally mapped and projected around visitors in a sensory display of sound and light. The technology was developed by Focal Studios and Leo & Hyde.
Sir Bryn said he was 'truly delighted' to be the voice of the experience, calling Williams 'Wales's foremost ambassador in the visual arts'. He recalled buying his first Kyffin Williams painting as a student in London, working hard to save enough money to bid for it. Sir Kyffin Williams (1918–2006) was born in Anglesey and trained at the Slade School of Art. In 2006, he left his estate to the National Library of Wales, which now houses the largest collection of his work.
