The history of industry and innovation in Wales is told in the National Waterfront Museum, an exciting attraction situated in Swansea’s new Maritime Quarter, which has opened in time for Sea Britain celebrations. It joins the National Museum and Galleries of Wales family.

Visitors can explore a series of 15 themed exhibition areas and more than 100 audio-visual exhibits, including 36 interactive displays. Large technologically obsolete objects on show include a 28-tonne rolling steel mill from Corus, the world’s first steam locomotive, a brick press and one of the very few surviving coal wagons. Small items include a Welsh gold cup and even Gareth Edwards’ rugby shirt. Entry is free.
