A local museum celebrating the history and heritage of St. Ives, located in the heart of downlong. Dog friendly!
I haven't been here since I was a little girl. Great collection of historical photos and items from in and around St. Ives. Well worth a visit
Great little museum really helpful lots to look round great for kids to do a little find the cats hunt
Very interesting place showing a lot of local history. Only PS5 for adults to go in. The museum was originally the seaman's mission, so the building itself is great to look around. Disabled access via a stair lift, so not suitable for someone who is unable to transfer. The ladies were very knowledgeable and helpful. Great on a day like today we're the weather is a little wild.
This was my first time visiting the St. Ives Museum and I really enjoyed it, down stairs is exhibitions of Farming, Mining, Fishing and processing of fish, with some very informative videos. Upstairs is more local history items showing life in Cornwall and its strong ties to the Sea. They had a gest exhibition of local artists that was a real bonus, but they regularly have such gest exhibitions. We didn't have to queue to get in and admittance was a very reasonable PS5. The entrance is up a flight of stairs but for those who are disabled or can't manage stairs there is a ground floor entrance that leads to a chairlift, so all good. Really nice museum that if the weather was not so good for us adults you can easily kill half a day just by looking, reading and watching everything.
A real treasure trove. Do visit this amazing Museum, its a must for anyone visiting St Ives. Wonderful friendly staff and so much to see and learn for all ages! We will return just to go there again.
