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The Trinity House National Lighthouse Museum exhibits lighthouse equipment, navigation instruments, and historical documents in a former depot building.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