Latest news from The National Maritime Museum Cornwall

National Maritime Museum Cornwall is reopening on Monday 27 July. We’re really looking forward to seeing visitors enjoy the Museum once again and can’t wait to welcome you back.

The advice from the Government COBRA Meeting on Monday 16 March urges everyone to avoid unnecessary social contact. Obviously this advice has a huge impact on National Maritime Museum Cornwall and our priority has to be to protect our visitors, volunteers and staff. In light of this we have reluctantly taken the decision to temporarily close the Museum to visitors until we are advised otherwise.
