Entry to the museum will remain free of charge, where visitors can explore its vast industrial and maritime heritage via cutting-edge, interactive technology married with traditional displays. 

There are also interesting temporary exhibitions which visitors can enjoy and discover, including the Swansea Canal 225 Exhibition, which celebrates 225 years since the opening of the Swansea Canal. 

National Waterfront Museum visitors can also enjoy some light bites at the café until 6:30pm and have a go at traditional hand printing.

The Museum is housed in an original listed warehouse linked to an ultra-modern slate and glass building. Visitors can discover the Transport, Materials and Networks that were so important and the 'big things' that contributed so much to the industrial history of Wales.

Janice Lane, Director of Visitor Experience at Amgueddfa Cymru says:

“We’re delighted to see the extra weekly evening opening times for people to enjoy their museums and their national collections for free,  return again this summer, to the National Waterfront Museum. Museums are places for meeting and spending time with friends and family as well as places for learning and wellbeing. We hope that extending our opening hours into the evening gives people a different opportunity to come together in our museums, to explore, have fun and to enjoy the wonderful objects on display. Drop in to visit us on your way back from work, or shopping or meet up with friends at the museum as part of your evening out”
