Trinity House National Lighthouse Museum, Maritime museum in Penzance, Cornwall, England.

The Trinity House National Lighthouse Museum exhibits lighthouse equipment, navigation instruments, and historical documents in a former depot building.

The museum opened in 1989 in a converted Trinity House buoy store, attracting 10,000 visitors annually until its closure in February 2005.

The collection includes lighthouse memorabilia, navigational instruments, and historical documents that reflect British maritime navigation techniques through centuries.
