Dylan Thomas Centre, Arts centre in Maritime Quarter, Swansea, United Kingdom.
The Dylan Thomas Centre occupies a neoclassical building featuring nine bay sections, round-arched windows, and Corinthian columns flanking its sides. It houses exhibitions exploring the life and work of the Welsh poet.
The building was designed by John Collingwood and completed in 1829, originally serving as a guildhall for the city. It was converted into an arts centre in 1995 to honour the legacy of poet Dylan Thomas.
The centre dedicates itself to Welsh poet Dylan Thomas through a permanent exhibition displaying his personal documents and literary works. The rooms tell the story of his creative process and impact on literature.
The centre opens Wednesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4:30 PM with free admission for all visitors. Parking spaces are available on-site, making it easy to visit.
Former US President Jimmy Carter attended the opening in 1995, bringing international recognition to the centre. This event remains a defining moment in the venue's history.
