Resilience at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall
6 December 2024 - 4 January 2026
Don't miss Resilience, a new multi-media exhibition on the resilience of Cornwall’s coastal communities past, present and future the National Maritime Museum Cornwall
Resilience is an evocative, multi-media exhibition on the resilience of Cornwall’s coastal communities past, present and future.
Be drawn in by the suspended glass buoys at the centre of the gallery and their faint buzz of sound. Come closer and the volume increases so you can hear the voices from those connected to Cornwall’s coast.
The exhibition explores how coastal communities have responded to changes within living memory, and how those past events influence people today. It will uncover the pressures that a life connected to the ocean can bring.
Please note, this exhibition is designed as an immersive, interactive audio-visual experience. It has multiple sound sources which some visitors may find overwhelming.
Resilience has been created in partnership with Kaleider and the Universities of Exeter and Southampton.
