From Thursday 5 November National Maritime Museum Cornwall will be temporarily closed and Monsters of the Deep will go back into hibernation. We will reopen as soon as we are able to.

Become a Member of National Maritime Museum Cornwall today and spend November and January exploring some of Cornwall’s best attractions for FREE!

At the entrance to Monsters of the Deep a huge eye keeps watch. It was designed and created by A-Side Studio and Engine House Animation Studio – find out more about the process.

At National Maritime Museum Cornwall we protect and celebrate our past and act as custodians of our shared maritime heritage. But we also explore our future – the future of our oceans, coastal communities and the maritime world.
