Glynn Vivian Art Gallery

The Glynn Vivian was founded as a community arts center with a bequest by Glynn Richard Vivian, a member of one of the wealthy 19th Century copper industrialist families of the area. It still maintains strong links with the community and engages in many educational projects. On display are Swansea china and porcelain from around the world, old masters and a strong 20th Century art collection with works by Hepworth, Nash and Nicholson as well as the Welsh artists Ceri Richards, Augustus John and Gwen John. The gallery's temporary exhibitions on different aspects of contemporary art are well worth seeing.
