Transforming Cornwall Museum and Art Gallery

This project concludes the final critical phase of Cornwall Museum’s transformation, creating the vital infrastructure to care for, celebrate, and share Cornwall’s premier museum collections. Building on our NLHF Resilience project and £4.3M in recent investments to complete essential upgrades and secure the museum’s long-term future and in being a fully accessible, vibrant cultural destination.
