We’re delighted to be at the heart of Swansea’s brand new Sea Festival! 🌊

The festival will be bursting with music, walkabout entertainment, fascinating displays, inspiring talks, and unforgettable performances.

Make sure to join us at the Museum to dive into a world of watery wonder.

Discover the wonders of nature with our friends from Marine Matters, and specimens from our Natural History collections

🎶 Sit back and enjoy some toe-tapping sea shanties in the GRAFT garden

📖 Listen to thrilling tales from the high seas

🎨 Get creative and make your own colourful sea slug, or design a sea‑inspired mask.

And don’t miss the chance to meet a Victorian ship’s surgeon… and a mermaid marine biologist!

Come along and make a splash with us! 🌟
