The National Maritime Museum has been designed for broad appeal, with a wide range of hands-on displays, a superb collection of small boats, demonstrations of boat-building, lectures, a research library, a meteorology gallery, remote-control scale-model boats, exhibitions that tell the story of Cornwall's unique maritime heritage and a waterside café. For many, the highlight will naturally be the Museum's collection of 120 historic British and international boats, many of which had been in storage for years; these are supplemented by contemporary vessels, prototypes and future designs. 30 of these craft will routinely be sailed from the NMMC's own jetties.
