Falmouth Museums
(Falmouth, Cornwall, England, UK)



Falmouth may only be home to a handful of museums, but what it has got is excellent. The town's award-winning National Maritime Museum Cornwall is a relatively new addition to Falmouth, although it feels like it has been here for years.

With year-long and more frequently changing exhibitions, interactive survival exhibits, thought-provoking displays and many permanent collections, a visit to Falmouth is not complete without a trip to the National Maritime Museum Cornwall. Here is some more information about the museum.
