Some of NOCS large collection of glass, china and pottery will be on display. Many of our items are souvenirs made especially for Newquay and bear the words "A Present From Newquay".

For those who have already seen the first floor of our Virtual Museum it will be an opportunity to seen it come to life for a day. (See our main website www.newquay.oldcornwall.org.uk)

A number of interesting items from our collections will be retrieved from store and put on show.

Do you have a Newquay school photograph? Will it be the oldest brought along to the exhibition?
