Brief description

"The gallery is the perfect place to discover the art of West Cornwall, including the works of the Newlyn School and Lamorna artists. The museum covers local history, from amazing archaeological finds to fabulous ceramics, social history and fashion. After that, relax with a coffee, homemade cake or a delicious light lunch in our licensed cafe, The Orangery."
