Frontiers - National Waterfront Museum

Investigate Welsh upcoming innovation in the Frontiers gallery.

See where Wales is making a strong contribution in emerging technologies in science, manufacturing and medicine.

The film-based gallery houses five interactive pods that present groundbreaking items and iconic objects, from the world of robotics, computer intelligence, bio-medical technology, paper recycling and sustainable energy.

You can operate a browsing device to explore their stories, implications and the Welsh connection, on screens behind the display object. Welsh firms have developed ways to build roads and houses from old newspapers and to power wheelchairs and community centres for free, by harnessing the wind and the sun.

Microchips have been designed that can diagnose disease from a drop of blood to help preserve lives across the world. Welsh technology is mapping the Earth’s oceans and the landscape of Mars, while computers have been developed here that can help prevent crime or keep you fit.

Come along and see what’s in store for the Wales of the future, and where the nation will make its mark on the world. Our films show how universities, private businesses and communities can work together to develop new skills and technologies, not only to help themselves and Wales, but lead the whole world.
