Hey thank you for mentioning this.

 

I'm in the Netherlands, but if its worth it I might actually be able to visit some day! And also see the ceramics, metalwork, its all so interesting. If you go there, let me know if it'd be worth a day's trip!

I'll have to pop in next time I'm that far down in Cornwall, probably the end of June. Thanks for letting us know

In all they have around 600 pieces,you used to be able to make an appointment to view all. Along with Dr FATurk we made a complete catalogue of the collection back in the 80's,fascinating  collection by three of the merchant families in the 19th century.

Yes, it looks like a family collection that has been donated. A little bit of everything. I'd love seeing some bigger pics of some of those pieces. Truro is a little off my beaten track. John
