Tales of Oshi Online Trail

Text in the centre reads 'Tales of Oshi the Cornish Sea Sprite' and 'online trail!'. Image also features four photos: a woman holding up a map, two women looking at a display case, a woman in a white lab coat putting an object on a table, and two women examining another object.

Step inside the Museum from your home and meet our Curator, Dr Morwenna Morvoren. In her cluttered cupboard, hidden at the back of a shelf, she’s unearthed a beautiful gleaming seashell and a strange little poem. What are they doing here?

Through the magic of the sea and the power of words, our Curator brings Oshi, a friendly sea sprite out of her restful slumber. Discover what happens when Oshi wakes up and finds herself in the Curator’s world, full of intriguing, strange and unusual objects… let’s get started!
