Discover the Mini Monsters of the not so Deep as we team up with the Rock Pool Project. Each day there’ll be a chance to learn, touch and uncover more about the sea life in our Cornish waters.

The Canvas and Rum performances have been cancelled, however we hope to reschedule the performances for a later date.

With Christmas fast approaching we’ve put together a selection of our top picks from the Museum gift shop. There’s something for everyone so you’ll have Christmas wrapped up in no time.

We know you love our Make and Take crafting sessions at the Museum so we’re now adding a few favourites online to keep the little ones occupied during lockdown (and beyond). 

On Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 December National Maritime Museum Cornwall is FREE to Cornish residents. Add it to your diary! Here’s why you should join us over the Falmouth Festive FREE weekend.

Incredible storytelling from Yskynna, spooky craft making and a Museum trail with prizes to be won this October half term.

Join us on Friday 25 October at 2.50pm for an underwater scuba display. Learn common underwater hand signals and chat with the divers through the deep sea windows, keep an eye out for sea life and make sure they give our windows a good clean whilst they’re down there!
