Aren’t you glad you aren’t Victorian?
Our latest exhibition, Swansea’s Bad Girls & Boys examines the stories of Victorian lawbreakers. But what were the lives of Victorian working-class children like? Explore our galleries to find out about the lives of working children and the laws that tried to protect them.

Have you tried our mouse trail?
We have 22 mice hidden around our museum. It is quite a challenge to find them all – will you become an expert mouse hunter?
Make sure to check out the RISW, who provide a regular program of lectures on a wide variety of subjects.
The RISW, or Royal Institution of South Wales, are the friends of the museum.
Thank you for taking part!
