About the event

Dive into Cornwall’s seafaring story with a visit to the National Maritime Museum Cornwall. Explore interactive exhibitions, climb the Lookout Tower for unbeatable harbour views, and uncover the region’s rich maritime heritage in a way that’s engaging and fun. Perfect for students, the museum brings history to life and offers a unique chance to discover more about the county you’re studying in.

 

Students will have the opportunity to spend time in the Museum, for as long as they wish, as we do not close until 5.00pm. We have a fabulous new exhibition on Surf! celebrating 100 years of Waveriding in Cornwall. At 11.00am, Emily and Linda will welcome you to the Museum, provide information on what you can see here, but also let you know about our volunteering opportunities, should you wish to get involved. Our welcome will not be too long, as we would like you to enjoy the Museum.
