Very interesting museum, in a ...fantastic location! Witches and Magicians are here! I visited the museus several years ago, maybe in 2004, just before the terrible flood, and this year is not available in the form, so I can't say about other informations; I Just say: MAGIC!

Fabulous and important little museum, part of our own social history. Not for the faint-hearted but fascinating despite that.

We call into the Museum whenever we are in Cornwall. The exhibition changes enough each year to make a visit worthwhile, and we always spot something we haven't noticed before. There is a nice selection of witchy nick-nacks on sale in the Museum shop too. Well worth spending an hour. Those with children may want to note that there are... More

Great place to visit if you have any interest in paganism, witchcraft or the unusual. Amazing location in Boscastle. Artifacts interesting & well looked after, despite the flood rising to high levels in the musuem, great way to spend an hour but feel like I have taken away a lot more to ponder & explore.

Overall it really has to be said that the museum offers a lot of exponates, some of them really quite eery and strange and really something that you don't get to see just everywhere.

I really enjoyed walking around this museum with the kids and thought it was value for money. I do think it needs a little updating and it still obviously repairing itself from the flood from years ago. A good time was had.

great fun, we visited as a couple with our 5 month old baby today. Really enjoyed it. The lady on reception was really nice and said we could live the pram at the begining because it was a little tight in places. had some really interesting things there and the building is a little spooky looking too so it adds...
