Connecting the civic centre with the city centre

I always wondered if something could be done with the Temple of Peace - to get people up to the other end of the Civic Centre. I don't know what exactly. Could it be a museum of "The Welsh in War and Peace"?

It probably could - the covenants say that it together with Alexandra Gardens form the National War Memorial so there'd be no problem on that front. Financing is anther matter of course.

I find the civic centre a relaxing place to visit, especially in the Summer, but visitors don't really have much of a reason to go there, except to see the museum. I've always thought that the civic centre would be a good museum quarter, if City Hall was turned into a science museum, for example. I doubt anything like that is likely though, so I guess it's a case of leaving most of it to the students and Welsh Office workers.

Building the National Library of Wales on that site would have helped! That was the original idea, but no. Sticking it out in the middle of a farmer's field in west Wales was a much better idea. Worked out really well since many of the train lines linking Aberystwyth are now gone. Makes it very accessible to the majority of Wales' population. I would have less of a problme if they had built it in Swansea.
