Art galleries exhibition spaces foundations and cultural centers Swansea

A major permanent exhibition centre on the life and work of Dylan Thomas, considered in the United Kingdom to be one of the greatest poets of the 20th century, particularly in Anglo-Saxon literature. Letters, films, explanatory panels provide more information about the famous Welsh writer. Dylan Thomas was born in Swansea in 1914 and died in New York in 1953. His best-known poem is And Death Shall Have no Dominion. It is even said that Bob Dylan changed his name (born Robert Zimmerman) in homage to this poet!

A centre entirely dedicated to environmental issues with an organic garden, temporary exhibitions, a cafeteria using fair trade products and a 100% ecological shop. In short, a mine of information and products to test! It is recommended for young and old alike. The centre really deserves a detour as it is so necessary, exciting and informative. They also organize work-shops and events to learn and develop skills and knowledge. Their philosophy: small action, big change!

In a majestic building with a magnificent glass roof, there is a collection of paintings and sculptures, including a selection of 20th century works, porcelain from Swansea and China... The gallery is a partner of the Tate of London and a section of the building is dedicated to temporary exhibitions of contemporary art. The museum sometimes brings in works by major masters. The gallery also has an excellent bookstore where you can find art books, recent publications and journals of architecture, fashion or design.
