The current Polperro Museum was set up in 1994 with some items from the previous museum, plus many donated items from the local community. It has grown steadily in size with many loaned items from H. M. Customs and Excise and the Royal Armouries. Many items have also been loaned by Royal Cornwall Museum, Truro. The Museum contains a magnificent collection of ship models, mostly made by a local model maker. It is situated right on the harbour side overlooking the inner harbour with beautiful views up the valley and out to sea.
