National Maritime Museum Cornwall

National Maritime Museum Cornwall is a place to enrich your understanding of the sea and Cornwall.

We aspire to bring new and diverse perspectives to maritime issues, and highlight their relevance to the present day. We also bring rare objects from around the world to Cornwall to tell local, national and international stories. Your admission fee is reinvested back into the museum to enhance and grow our work, which also includes our family learning activities; our award winning education programmes; our boat building and conservation; and our work to preserve and promote Cornwall’s maritime heritage.

The Museum was officially opened in 2003 and is located on the aptly named Discovery Quay in Falmouth, south Cornwall.
