Wow! I was surprised with this museum. It's much bigger than I was expecting. My children loved exploring all the rooms and all the old artifacts. They especially enjoyed the Egyptian area. Children were free adult about 7.50 Has a cafe so you can chill and have a coffee. Have a little wonder in the small shop
We enjoyed looking round the museum doing research for a school project with our son. The staff were friendly and very helpful. There are some interesting artifacts and exhibitions. A small gift shop with a limited selection of souvenirs. You can also easily access the Arts cafe which serves a selection of food and drinks.
That is the best one for everyone to come and learn more about Cornish history, arts and culture
I went to see the mineral gallery after it's been majorly updated and overhauled. Great museum, my favourite piece is a gold necklace with intricate detail that is around 5000 years old I believe. Incredible.
