The museum is a charity and has lots of different things going on thoughout the year.
This lovely old fashioned museum, housed in the town’s historic Market Buildings, is spread over five display halls on three floors, and the thousands of objects will keep you fascinated, entertained, and coming back for more!
The collection tells the story of 19th an 20th Century Cornish Culture and Industry. We care for a large costume and photographic collection.
There’s so much more to explore, and we welcome all ages with a programme of activities and events. There are themed quizzes throughout the year Our ‘Krafty Kids’ sessions run Thursdays 10:30am-12:30pm during the school holidays. We also host special events so follow us on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram to keep up to date.
If you are travelling by car, there are several local car parks and a few 30 -minute waiting spots just in front of the museum which are ideal for drop-offs.
