Isles of Scilly Museum

The museum describes its collections as "extremely diverse, including material from many wrecks; a wild flower display (during the summer months); Romano-British artefacts; stuffed birds; local art and much more".

By 1967 they had raised funds and a museum building, with residential flats above, was built in Church Street, Hugh Town on St Mary's.

But we’re also planning for the long term, how we can build a new permanent museum and make sure it is the centre of cultural life on Scilly.

[6]As of 2023[update] there is a plan to develop the existing Town Hall building as the Isles of Scilly Cultural Centre and Museum.

[7][8] In December 2022, a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant was obtained to support the development of plans, with a view to having "Museum fit out complete and building fully open" in the winter of 2025–2026.
