Lonely Planet review for National Waterfront Museum

The Maritime Quarter's flagship attraction is housed partly in a 1901 dockside warehouse and partly in a stunning modern glass-and-slate extension. A series of themed exhibition galleries covers the history of Welsh industry and innovation, making much use of interactive computer screens and audiovisual presentations.

Highlights include the 'People' exhibit, which brings whole communities back to life using the records from the 1851 census to tell the stories of Swansea people. The Sea gallery tells tales of Cape Horner clipper ships and how Swansea became the 19th-century 'Copper Capital of the World'.
