The National Waterfront Museum is now featured in the Swansea edition of the popular board game, The Museum tells the story of Industry and Innovation in Wales, The Monopoly location of the Museum is a red section, of the City of Swansea edition and the property is valued at £240.
The name of the Museum is a little confusing, I was expecting a Maratime Museum, but in fact it is based on the Welsh Coal & Iron Heavy Industry over the past 300 years, & some modern innovations.
Apparently it is called the Waterfront Museum because it is alongside the South Dock Quay in the Maratime Quarter.
