CSI Swansea

Join the CSIs (Crime Scene Investigators) after hours in our atmospheric galleries to use real scientific techniques to examine the evidence and narrow down the suspects. Can you help us find out what happened?
Museum Mystery
A museum maintenance worker has been found unconscious by a security guard during a routine morning patrol…
At first, it appeared to be a simple workplace accident, but investigators soon uncovered evidence suggesting something far more sinister.
Your mission is to examine the evidence, and use scientific investigation techniques to work through the suspects before the trail goes cold.

Confessions of a Traitor: The Psychology of Trust and Deception

Join us on the eve of Halloween for a thrilling evening as we unmask two of the most formidable Welsh contestants from The Traitors - Fiona and Amanda!

How did they fool their fellow players? What strategies did they use to stay hidden in plain sight? And what can their experiences reveal about the way we judge truth and lies in everyday life?

The Traitors will be joined by Swansea University psychologist Dr Alex Jones for a discussion that takes us behind the cloak-and-dagger world to reveal the science behind the decisions, emotions and behaviours that make deception so effective.
