The smell of steam-age grease, the creek of merchant sails and the flow of black gold ~coal; the tang of iron and the forged words and memories of renowned industrialists as well as the very ordinary heroes who spearheaded the industrial age. This is what you’ll discover at The National Waterfront Museum. Our collection forms a tapestry of stories of the pioneers of the coal shafts, the merchant explorers of the sea and the warriors of the foundries and their families. Echoes of their lives, the sweat and toil and innovation, resound around the galleries, along with a sense of the community spirit that burned bright through good times and the dark days of industrial tragedy. We also celebrate modern and contemporary industrial entrepreneurs, inventors and inventions, from microchips to prosthetic limbs, sustainable vehicles to Lego. Come and discover how Wales once powered the world, and how today we play an important part in renewing it through innovation.

🌊 Welcome to our first Coast To Coast post!

🗺️ Every Saturday in September we will be shining a light on the beautiful Pembrokeshire coastal town of Tenby (Dinbych-Y-Pysgod in Welsh).

Every Saturday we'll be sharing something from the Amgueddfa Cymru collection linked with this iconic Welsh seaside town.

📷 Today's object is this photograph taken by Edward Morland Lewis.

Do you recognise this view? Do you think it's changed much since this photograph was taken?

🌊 Croeso i'r post O Lan i Lan cyntaf!

🗺️ Bob dydd Sadwn ym mis Medi byddwn yn rhoi'r sylw i dref arfordirol hardd Dinbych-Y-Pysgod yn Sir Benfro.

Bob dydd Sadwrn byddwn yn rhannu rhywbeth o gasgliad Amgueddfa Cymru sy'n gysylltiedig a'r dref glan-mor eiconig yma.

📷 Heddiw, rydym am rannu'r llun yma a dynnwyd gan Edward Morland Lewis.

Ydych chi'n adnabod yr olygfa? Ydych chi'n meddwl bod yr olygfa wedi newid tipyn ers tynnu'r llun yma?

Did you know that the Terra Nova figurhead stood for many years in the Cardiff's Roath Park!

It was then presented to Amgueddfa Cymru by Cardiff City Council in 1932.

It can now be seen on display in the Warehouse Gallery here at the National Waterfront Museum!
