The Royal Institution of South Wales acts as the Friends of Swansea Museum, supporting events and purchasing objects.
Recent acquisitions have included the 1852 South Dock painting, Swansea ceramics and a photographic glass plate by Calvert Richard Jones showing Mumbles in 1850.
The R.I.S.W. was founded in 1835 as a philosophical and literary society, and in 1841 it opened Swansea Museum which it ran for over 100 years.
