The Dylan Thomas Centre is a cultural venue in the Welsh city of Swansea, dedicated to the life and works of the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas.

The Centre is located in the Maritime Quarter of the city, close to where Thomas was born and raised.

It houses a permanent exhibition about Thomas’s life and work, as well as temporary exhibitions on related themes.

Dylan Thomas was a Welsh poet, playwright, and short-story writer, known for his unique literary style and his love of language.
He gained fame in the 1930s and 1940s as a member of the “Angry Young Men” literary movement, which was characterized by a sense of disillusionment and rebellion against traditional values.
Thomas’s work is known for its rich and musical language, as well as its exploration of themes such as love, death, and the human condition.
He wrote many famous works such as “Do not go gentle into that good night”, “And death shall have no dominion” and “Fern Hill” among others.
He also wrote several plays, including “Under Milk Wood” which is a radio play that was later adapted for the stage.

The Centre also hosts a range of events and activities, including poetry readings, book launches, workshops and lectures.

The Centre also has a shop where you can buy books and other items related to Dylan Thomas and his works.

It is a popular place for both tourists and locals who are interested in the life and works of the famous poet.
