Swansea Museum is the oldest museum in Wales, and a fascinating treasure house of Swansea’s history. The collections contain all kinds of objects from the past of Swansea, Wales and the rest of the world.
In the main museum building we have everything from an Egyptian mummy to a Welsh Kitchen, displayed in six galleries. There are also many changing temporary exhibitions each year.
Visiting the Museum
The safety of our visitors, staff, and volunteers remains our priority. For the well-being of everyone, we will continue with these hygiene and safety measures:
- We encourage face coverings while in the museum
- Sanitiser stations are available at the entrances of the museum
- Please respect the personal space of other visitors and staff
- We will continue the enhanced cleaning regime for touch surfaces around the museum
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the museum.
