Royal Cornwall Museum, Art and local history museum in Truro, England.
The Royal Cornwall Museum displays extensive mineral collections, archaeological artifacts, and artworks across multiple exhibition spaces in a Grade II listed building.
Founded in 1818, the museum occupies a former savings bank built in 1845 and expanded into an adjacent Baptist chapel constructed in 1848.
The institution maintains the Courtney Library, containing rare books and manuscripts documenting the life, traditions, and development of Cornwall through centuries.
