This place had been on my to visit list, especially with being a fan of the local style of art and Penzance history. There was an environmental themed exhibition taking place, with the artwork chosen for display reflecting the theme. Downstairs, and a room upstairs contains the gallery with the rest being local history. I love visiting local museums as they are so unique as they reflect that specific area. I was very surprised however that there wasn't a display about the Branwell family and their connection to the Brontë sisters, besides the fact that house was formally owned by a member of the Branwell family and this is mentioned a few times There is an entry fee £8 for adults

Unfortunately we visited on a chilly, wet day with our dog and found that we could only sit outside. If we had been able to sit inside or at least somewhere warm & weatherproof then we could have taken it in turns to lunch and then go around the gallery. Or if there wasn't a significant entry charge then we could have at least spent a short time each around there. As it was we left after a quick snack rather colder & damper than when we arrived!

Being refurbed but nice compact exhibition open and facinating museum. Very good cafe for meals.

We had a free, brilliant guided tour of the current exhibition, having timed it just right.nnThis is probably our fourth visit to the Penlee Gallery which has some extraordinary Victorian and Edwardian Maritime themed paintings and a collection of Newlyn copper, Troika, Crysede, and other Newlyn/Cornwall related exhibits.nnQuite expensive for tickets but worth it if you’re visiting.

Great exhibition on at the moment. 'Flora' provides a fascinating insight into  Newlyn School landscapes by juxtapositioning them with new paintings of the same views as created by contemporary artist Kurt Jackson.
