An excellent little museum with lots to see - if the weather is good combine it with an afternoon at the beach (same car park!) Watch out there are two car parks - you need to buy the correct parking ticket for the one you are parked in. Perhaps a little 'wordy' on occasions but lots of working exhibits. I... More

We visited the Museum in June 2013 and spent a very pleasant hour or so, first being given a very informative talk on the 'history' of Porth Curno's vital place in the world of communications especially in its infancy. Our sincere thanks to all the staff, especially Mary who did the introductory talk. All the staff are a credit to... More

Today I visited this Museum with my two grand children aged 14 & 7 yrs. We all enjoyed looking at all the exhibits & found everything most interesting. The lady that gave the talk was very well informed. The children enjoyed the climbing frame in the gardens & it was a lovely peaceful atmosphere & ideal for a picnic with... More

There is a gift shop and cafe,manned by Volunteers who were very friendly and informative,I was amazed there are on concessions for... More

I found the museum quite dull and uninspiring. Full of endless repetition of the same obselete equipment very disappointed. Would not recommend to others.

The museum is to close for 6 months from Sept this year due to its lottery funded modernisation. I think it is a fantastic place to visit for many reasons. The history of telegraphy might sound a bit dry to some but the sheer volume of artefacts, photography and the social history of the people who worked here from1870s onwards... More

I went to this Museum with my family without really knowing what to expect. From an adult point of view I found it interesting. They manage to encapsulate the subject area quite well in a very short space of time and with minimum equipment. They try very hard with the children but the facilities aren’t up to much. The telegraphy... More

We visited porthcurno Telegraph Museum in March 2013. Full of interest information and facts. There is a lot to see and some interactive activities. We found the car park a bit on the pricey side. In fact there was a public car park beside the Museum one - both charging about the same price. The car park was almost empty... More

My family and I visited the museum last Sunday and had a great time. Even our 4 year old loved looking all the old telegraph equipment. Great fun having a go at sending a morse code message. If you gift aid your ticket you can re visit any time until August. Well worth a visit and there is a wonderful... More
