I’ve been following this wonderful gallery after seeing it on Facebook last year and I’m impressed by the quality and range of Artists they represent and how they show the artwork. Yesterday I received a fabulous self-portrait by the late artist Jason Bowyer, beautifully and securely packaged, after only 48 hours of purchasing. All at a distance of 323 miles. I was able to confidently order my first ever online piece of Fine Art due to the exceptional quality of the images on, and the layout of, their website. The entire experience was first class from start to finish and I would highly recommend the personal service of Brian and Judi online. I am making a visit to this gallery a high priority this coming summer.

Sadly the museum is currently closed for repair work but as they say about the V & A cafe, great cafe with rather a nice museum attached. Have been to the museum many times & the permanent collection is great as are the temporary exhibitions. Looking forward to the reopening. The cafe is on2 levels with 2 serving areas with good range of hot drinks & cakes & varied lunch menu. An additional bonus is the art shop at the back of the cafe which in addition to artists' materials has a great stock of unusual toys & games & stationery.
4. St Agnes Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 78 reviews
An award-winning volunteer-run Museum comprising information, artefacts and curios relating to the Parish of St. Agnes. St. Agnes is a beautiful coastal village with a rich history of tin and copper mining as well as fishing, although today its main trade is tourism. A visit to the museum will enhance your understanding of this special history and can be complemented with one of many walks taking in the historic mine engine house remains or lunch in one of the many restaurants, cafes or pubs. The Museum was established in 1984 and moved to its current location in the old Chapel of Rest in 1990.

My Wife & I Stayed At The Rosemundy Hotel And Took The Time To Visit St Agnes Museum. We Were So Impressed With The Appearance Of The Building, It's Like A Small Village Church. Upon Entering The Museum, We Were Welcomed Warmly By A Very Kind Gentleman Who Was Serving At The Till. He Explained About The Museum And Was Very Interesting And Informative. The Museum Is Fantastic, Amazing Things To See And Such A Calming Atmosphere, It Was A Real Joy To Visit We Are Staying At Rosemundy Again This Year So Will Definitely Be Headed Back To The Museum Again
