What we do
We think that museums create moments of wonder which enrich people’s lives. They play a critical role in linking our past to the present and helping us to shape the future. They help us to explore the most profound and enduring questions humans can ask about why we are here and our place in the world. Museums bring meaning to our lives.
Our charity exists to help museums in Cornwall to thrive.

We’ve published our business plan for 2018 – 2022. It sets out our aims, mission, values, and priorities for the Cornwall Museums Strategy.
