St Ives Museum is run by enthusiastic local volunteers who are on hand to tell you everything you could want to know about the history of this West Cornwall town. The museum has a wonderful collection of art, mining, fishing, railway and farming artefacts, and old toys. There is also a replica of a traditional Cornish kitchen, a display of Victorian clothing and a fascinating insight into the history of the Hain Steamship company. It is a must for anyone interested in Cornish history.
