National Maritime Museum Cornwall

National Maritime Museum Cornwall can be found on the aptly named Discovery Quay, overlooking Falmouth Harbour in Cornwall. The Museum’s programme of exhibitions, events and activities as well as the 15 galleries – above and below the sea – explore the fascinating and surprising influence the ocean has had on our history and culture.

The Museum’s permanent galleries allow visitors to gain a powerful sense of Cornwall’s rich maritime history – and an insight into what makes the Cornish coast so special. From the top of the 100ft Lookout Tower take in the picturesque panoramic views of the world’s third deepest natural harbour before heading to the bottom where you can spot sea life from the giant undersea windows.

Climb aboard the rescue vehicles in the RNLI Rescue Zone, sail miniature boats on the Boat Pool, let imaginations run wild in the Play Zone and see the jewels from the nation’s Small Boat Collection dramatically hung overhead in the Main Hall.
