The Art Fund's Treasure Plus grant has allowed the museum to conserve a late Bronze Age metalworker’s hoard found in St Buryan parish and Roman coins from Luxulyan parish. Among the exhibits are a gold twisted torc, bronze axes and a bronze razor, Anglo-Scandinavian stirrup strap mounts and post-medieval silver gilt dress hooks.
