National Maritime Museum Cornwall A place to enrich our understanding of the sea, and Cornwall Through our exhibitions programme we aspire to bring new and diverse perspectives to maritime issues, and highlight their relevance to the present day. Deep in the dark murky depths of the ocean bioluminescence dances and shadowy figures loom. Something’s there, but what?

Hegarty’s Boatyard is a photographic exhibition by Kevin O’Farrell of the last surviving traditional wooden boatyard in Ireland. In this era of volume-produced fibreglass boats, Hegarty’s yard exists in a world that is fast disappearing – one where skills and traditions are passed down from one generation to the next, and beautiful hand-crafted boats are made with passion and integrity.

Memories of Falmouth is a brand new exhibition of photography and film taken of Falmouth between 1934 – 1981, providing a fascinating insight into the town during this time. The exhibition brings together two of the Museum’s finest collections: The Weller collection – a collection of over 600 photographic negatives and the Goodyear and Black archive cine film.
