The Arts - Museums in Looe, Liskeard and East Cornwall


POLPERRO HERITAGE MUSEUM

Located in The Warren, overlooking the harbour, the Polperro Heritage Museum of Smuggling and Fishing houses a remarkable collection of exhibits and 19th century photographs as well as many items of memorabilia dating from the 18th century, when both smuggling and fishing thrived in Polperro.

It vividly brings to life the story of this Cornish fishing village's extraordinary history and many of the people who featured in it. When smuggling died out in the 19th century, Polperro attracted many distinguished artists and photographers, some of whose work is exhibited at the museum.

The Polperro Heritage Museum is open daily between 10am and 6pm from March until October.
