How do you put the Muse back into Museum?

For the ancient Romans museums were a source of inspiration - hence the name. We feel the same way, so does the National Maritime Museum Cornwall. Shown here are ‘Endurance and Survival’ and the touring exhibition ‘Surf’s Up’ – the latter attracted 56,000 visitors when it visited Exeter and was a runner up in the South West Lottery Heritage Fund Heroes Awards 2006, Young Person’s category.
