Grant funding for reduction in harmful UV light levels
The museum has obtained grant funding to install protective window film to reduce the amount of UV light in the main gallery. This will reduce the risk of damage to our collections and to future art exhibitions. We would like to thank the Association of Independent Museums (AIM), the Phyllida Nicholson Trust and St Ives Town Council for their generous funding of this project.
ACCESSIBILITY
Please note that the entrance to our museum is up a flight of steps - a stairlift is available from the ground floor. A wheelchair is available at reception if needed.
​
We occupy a historic building which is not equipped with a public toilet. The nearest public conveniences can be found at Smeaton's Pier (a 2 minute walk) or the Sloop Car Park (a 5 minute walk)
