Whether you are interested in restoring historic boats, inspiring children with tales of heroic adventures on the sea, or supporting our exhibition programme, below are some examples of what your donation could enable us to do.
Archive Conservation – £100 – £200
The Bartlett Library has a large collection of archive materials that either require conservation now or will require conservation in the future. You could help The Library in its work in other areas by donating money towards the binding of books and magazines or refurbishing a large volume. The cost of each of these activities is small, £40 – £200, but will have a lasting benefit to our collections.
Display Cases – £250 to £5,000 per case
New display cases of various shapes and sizes are needed for our galleries throughout the Museum. Each new exhibition will require cases to display objects and these will range from table top cases to large free standing cases.
Restoration and conservation – £50 to £50,000
National Maritime Museum Cornwall holds some of the nation’s most important boats. We are committed to the restoration and conservation of these boats so that they can be enjoyed by the general public. To provide basic maintenance for one of the boats in our historic floating collection costs an average of £500 per year for materials alone. Major restoration projects cost a lot more.
