Local history of the parish of St Agnes from fishing to folklore, tin mining to turtles
St Agnes Museum is full of fascinating artefacts and information about the Parish of St Agnes. There's lots about our rich mining and maritime history with a detailed model of the former harbour and our fabulous Lady Agnes figurehead.
There are items relating to agriculture, a colourful natural history display and a fine mineral collection.
We have important paintings by two local nineteenth century artists - a self portrait by John Opie R.A. and a portrait by Edward Opie R.A. of his father which we were able to purchase with the help of grants from The Art Collections Fund, The V&A Arts Purchase Fund and The Cornwall Heritage Trust as well as local donations.
We have a shop packed with interesting books and gifts with a local flavour plus many small pocket money items for children.
