What’s on

Immerse yourself in the best of what makes our beautiful part of the world sparkle at this magical time of year with Cornish Christmas Activities.

Tattoo: British Tattoo Art Revealed opened at the Museum to huge acclaim in 2017 and after touring nationally we are delighted to bring back some of the key artworks from the exhibition.

2023 is a big year for National Maritime Museum Cornwall. It’s our 20th birthday and so we’re creating a brand new exhibition that takes a look at the highs and lows of our 20 year history.

Dashing, daring and adventurous or bloodthirsty, immoral and greedy – were pirates of the 18th century heroes of the age or no more than callous cutthroats?

Do you dare step foot on Skull Island? Become a pirate for the day and hoist the Jolly Roger to stake your claim. Climb the island fort and captain the crew from the quarterdeck whilst keeping watch for mischievous intruders.

Every Monday during term time.

Weekly storytelling and sing-a-long every Monday during term time. Minnows Tales starts at 11 o’clock and is perfect for under 5s.

This May half term we’re taking the Trail offsite and online with The Rock Pool Project. Discover how to rock pool safely, how to identify creatures and how to look after their environment in our trail.

Join our Curator in the Museum and discover what happens when Oshi, our curious Cornish Sea Sprite makes an unexpected visit.

Welcome to the Aliens of the Deep Family Trail as part of the Science of the Sea February half term activities. Are you ready for an adventure?
