National Museum Cardiff

Witness one of Europe's finest art collections. Five hundred years of magnificent paintings, drawings, sculpture, silver and ceramics from Wales and across the world, including one of Europe's best collections of Impressionist art. The building also has galleries showing the diverse natural history of Wales, as well as a journey taking you through the Evolution of Wales (with dinosaur displays) from the very beginnings of time to the present day.

Dylan Thomas Centre

Free, family friendly Exhibition that chronicles the life, work and cultural context of Dylan Thomas, one of the most notable Welsh poets. Through an interactive timeline, audiovisual material and original worksheets, books and recordings, the 'Love the Words' exhibition celebrates Dylan's poetry, prose, radio broadcasts and film scripts. The Centre also runs a programme of activities throughout the year supporting the Exhibition, including creative writing workshops and free family events.

I found this to be a really imaginatively curated exhibition for all ages and all levels of interest. Whether it’s Dylan Thomas or just ‘words’. Plenty of information in bite sized pieces and engaging activities for children. A real celebration of the man, his work, of art, literature and ‘words’. Recommended.

Egypt Centre

Reviewed By sosbanfach - Llanelli, United Kingdom

We spent a damp Saturday afternoon with our 5 year old granddaughter in the Egypt Centre at Swansea University. What a fascinating place to visit, staffed with very knowledgeable volunteer guides whose enthusiasm was infectious. Although consisting effectively of only two rooms, the exhibits and activities were displayed cleverly to draw you in and take you through the contrasting themes of 'Death' and 'Life' in ancient Egypt. Our granddaughter was in her element and took a worryingly wrapt interest in the mummification presentation! And it's all free!
