Nature Gallery

Rewild yourself in the Nature Gallery and explore Cornwall’s wildlife and habitats through sustainability, conservation and biodiversity. 

The newly re-imagined Nature Gallery is an interactive space exploring big topics like sustainability and biodiversity seen through a Cornish lens but informed by global awareness.

The gallery is a sensory experience, encouraging play and learning by bringing you closer to nature. Developed in collaboration with Cornwall Wildlife Trust, the Nature Gallery confronts the challenges of climate change, habitat loss, and the exploitation of natural resources unflinchingly but with hope for the future.

We tell the success stories of conservation and recovery, and show how we can learn from the past as we strive for a brighter, more considerate future.

‘Rewilding’ our Nature Gallery with the help of Cornwall Wildlife Trust

When the museum reopens next March, one of the main attractions is sure to be our new-look Nature Gallery, redesigned with the invaluable expertise of Cornwall Wildlife Trust.

Here in the heart of Truro, visitors will be able to step through the doors of this reimagined space and immerse themselves in Cornwall’s rich wildlife, beautiful landscapes, and unique plant life.

Working alongside the Trust, we’ve uncovered success stories of conservation and recovery, showing how we can learn from the past as we continue to confront the challenges of climate change and habitat loss.

We caught up with Emma Whiting, Communities and Engagement Manager at Cornwall Wildlife Trust, to talk about the role of the new Nature Gallery in celebrating and safeguarding Cornwall’s natural resources.
