The exhibition comprises a main room, a temporary exhibition area which houses changing displays, and a learning space which is open to the public when not in use for workshops. There's lots to explore on the interactive Timeline, such as the Children's Trail which features some of the animals that appear in Dylan's writing. Follow the People Trail around the Timeline, too, and discover some of the key people in Dylan's life, and the rich cultural context in which he lived and worked. One section in the centre of the exhibition is dedicated to Dylan the writer, and another to Dylan the performer. There are fun interactives, and touchscreens which tell the story of Dylan's Notebooks, explore his famous poem ‘Do not go gentle into that good night' and look at the circumstances surrounding his death. Listen to Dylan himself, and those who knew him, via the built-in speakers in the chairs.

Join Peter Wakelin and Prys Morgan as they host the much-anticipated launch of George Little: The Ugly, Lovely Landscape. Few artists have dedicated themselves as passionately to capturing and interpreting industrial environments as George Little. Born in 1927 in the east end of Swansea, he was intimately acquainted with the abandoned copper works, slag heaps, and bustling docks that characterized Dylan Thomas's enchantingly unattractive hometown. Peter Wakelin, an esteemed art historian and industrial archaeologist, provides insightful commentary alongside over 100 of Little's evocative photographs and paintings. Little's oeuvre documents the decline of heavy industry and industrial towns in South Wales throughout his lifetime, conveying the gritty, somber atmosphere of post-industrial landscapes before transforming them with vibrant colors and abstract elements. Little's own words encapsulate his nostalgia for disappearing subjects such as pithead wheels, slag heaps, heavy industry, and the Swansea docks he once knew. Prys Morgan aptly acknowledges that while many were aware of Swansea's "ugly lovely" nature, few, if any, were able to translate its inherent ugliness into memorably beautiful art. This meticulously researched study by Peter Wakelin seamlessly weaves together art history and industrial archaeology, offering a comprehensive overview of Little's profound artistic contributions. Writers, artists, urban explorers, and archaeologists are consistently drawn to the remnants of industry and the haunting remains of deindustrialization and urban decay. However, it is George Little who stands out for his unwavering commitment to documenting and interpreting these environments. Attend the George Little Book Launch with Peter Wakelin to immerse yourself in the captivating visual journey of this remarkable artist's life's work. The event will take place on November 16, 2023, at the Mumbles Tabernacle in Swansea. Tickets are priced at £6.13 and can be redeemed against book purchases.
