We are now closed for the winter season and will re-open in April 2021. We may be closed but we are still sharing stories on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram.
These notes are to help you plan your visit when we re-open:
Use this 360 Virtual Tour to plan your visit to the museum or to explore the town.
Access
The museum is housed in an old market building with sloping granite floors and some uneven surfaces. Our front door has a set of steps and we have flat access through an entrance on the right side of the building.
We have lift access to all floors and are really happy to answer any accessibility queries you may have. Here is our Easy Read Guide to Visiting and our Sensory Map.If you think visiting our museum may be a little overwhelming then maybe our Sensory Backpack will help.
Please contact us on info@museumofcornishlife.co.uk if you have any further questions.

The nearest Pay and display car park is on Wendron Street, TR13 8PS. Turn right out of the car park and walk down to the junction, turn right again by the granite bench and look for the cannon at the bottom of the steps. The second nearest pay and display car park is Tyacke Road, TR13 8RY. Free parking can be found near Coronation Lake at the Fair Car Park, TR13 8SG. This is a 10-15 minute walk uphill to the museum. There are also three 30 minute parking spots outside the museum for dropping off and picking up.
