Dylan Thomas’ work is full of humour, from his early Swansea Grammar School poems to later prose writing, such as ‘A Story’. His doodles and drawings also demonstrate his sense of fun.
This exhibition brings together loan material from the National Library of Wales alongside items from our own collection.
We also display for the first time a spoof of Under Milk Wood written by Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall for the BBC’s ‘That Was the Week That Was’.
Free entrance.
