We are delighted to have won Exhibition of the Year at the Cornwall Heritage Awards, hosted by Cornwall Council.
We are also thrilled that Milo Berwick received Commended in the One to One category, recognising their fantastic volunteering work at the Gallery.
Penlee House won the Exhibition of the Year (Larger Venues) award for The Shape of Things: Our Place in a Changing Climate, which ran from 5 February to 26 April 2025.
The exhibition explored the effects of climate change in Cornwall through historic artworks and photographs from the Penlee House collections, created in collaboration with more than 30 organisations, schools, community groups and environmental champions.
Congratulations to all the winners and nominees — Cornwall’s heritage community is truly fantastic!
