Two photos in the same spot, more than a century apart. The official opening in 1919, and the recent reopening after the completion of a major phase in the transformation of the museum. #cornishhistory #truro #cornwall #museumnews #historyinthemaking

A 1st class find! ๐Ÿช™ Work to transform the museum garden took a dramatic turn this week, when contractors discovered a box containing a hoard of Henry II coins which probably made their way to Truro when the castle was built here. An unbelievable find right on our doorstep!

One of the brilliant exhibits in the Mineral Gallery at Cornwall Museum and Art Gallery. It was fun finding samples from our local mines listed in the exhibits. It's true that you're never very far from an old mine in Cornwall!
