The once tarnished image of dusty, old rooms with tired and uninteresting exhibitions couldn't be further from the truth in Cornwall. Visit a museum in Cornwall and you will see that they are a place where the past comes to life, where stories get told and treasures are uncovered.
Discover the world of Cornish maritime history at the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth - go underwater in the Tidal Zone or captain your own boat at the Waterfront interactive display.
Or if archaeology and social history is more your thing make a trip to the Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro where an unwrapped Egyptian mummy stands alongside a myriad of minerals and fossils.
Many of Cornwall's towns and villages also house small and unique museums which explore a bygone era and celebrate local histories.
