The museum hosts regular talks and events, including ones aimed at children, such as 'Glam Rock', where children get to make their own gems. There is also a library, housing many books, periodicals and archives about Cornwall and its people amongst other historical topics. The museum is open from 10am Monday to Saturday (closed on Bank Holidays).
