Royal Cornwall Museum

Located in Truro, the Royal Cornwall Museum is perfectly positioned to tell the story of Cornwall, signpost other museums, provide a forum for debate, and act as a nucleus for both local people and visitors to the region. In 2007, the Museum sought to create a new vision for its future. Through a three-phase programme of work, Polly led the client and design team in preparing a masterplan scoping study, and an application to the Heritage Lottery Fund in September 2008.

The role included reviewing the collections; developing a framework for a museum re-display; assessing the back of house requirements; identifying how to deliver additional public resources including a re-located library and learning suite; developing options; undertaking a preliminary options appraisal and drafting the final HLF submission.
