Rightly described as "the artistic heart of West Cornwall‚s heritage",
Penlee House Gallery & Museum in Penzance presents a year-round programme of temporary exhibitions usually featuring work by the world-famous Newlyn and
Lamorna artists (1880-1930), including Stanhope and Elizabeth Forbes, Walter
Langley and Lamorna Birch.
This year's exhibition programme includes "The Brotherhood of the Palette", a major survey exhibition of key paintings by Newlyn School artists (1880 - 1900), from 20 June to 12 September.
This elegant gallery and museum also offers full wheelchair access, an excellent
