Museum Supporter & Donating

Like you, we care about the people and stories of Cornwall. We’ve been welcoming visitors to our Museum since 1949 – but began collecting objects and artifacts even before that.
Your support

We are a charity and your donations help to keep our collection cared for, our roof watertight and our museum free for all.  By joining our community of supporters, you are helping ensure future generations can enjoy this special place.

Together, we can look after the stories of Cornwall, bring our collections to more people, and make sure our history continues to inspire visitors for years to come.

You can become a member of our Museum Supporters from as little as £25 a year.

We celebrate the vital support you provide with a special invitation to Flora Day Tea at the Museum – a highlight of the Museum calendar.

If you are interested in making a one-off donation or becoming a regular supporter please email info@museumofcornishlife.co.uk or visit https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/22820
