Open today: 10:00am – 4:00pm

Cornwall Museum and Art Gallery is a space for our local communities, and we host a number of regular activities that support health and wellbeing.

Explore Our Activities

Museums and participation in creative activities can be a great way to support health through connection with others, learning and mindfulness.

We run our own community programme, often funded by small grants. We are also a venue that supports local groups. If you would like to work with us or use our space as a venue, get in touch: daisy@cornwallmuseum.org
