How it all works

The Cornwall Museums Partnership is a charity which coordinates collaborative working to help museums thrive. It is based on the principle that every organisation has a strength from which others can benefit.

The Partnership supports museums to work together to deliver joint programmes of activity. We can help to ‘match’ museums with other cultural organisations, businesses, tourism organisations, public and voluntary sector partners. To date partnership projects have included joint marketing, fundraising, collections development, learning programmes, advocacy and a shared online shop.

How can my museum get involved?

Please contact us if you have an idea for a project or if you would like to know more about the projects we are running. We are always keen to involve new partners and build the network. If you have not been involved in our projects in the past please don’t let that stop you from getting in touch. There is no membership fee.

We exist to deliver the Cornwall Museums Strategy:

Who we work with

The Partnership exists for all museums in Cornwall. It raises funds to support a range of different projects – some of these funders may have particular requirements (for example Accredited museum status) which will determine which museums can participate in specific projects.

We are actively engaged with a range of partners across Cornwall including

  • Arts for Health
  • Cornwall Arts Trust
  • RIO
  • Hall for Cornwall
  • Miracle Theatre
  • KEAP
  • Falmouth University
  • Cornish Mining World Heritage Site
