The unique building of the National Maritime Museum Cornwall was designed by the architects, Long and Kentish after a countrywide competition run by the Cornwall County Council in 1996.
In its official website http://www.nmmc.co.uk/ the building which is clad in oak with a pitched slated roof is described in the following way: “In an age of near-instant obsolescence, the building is designed to stand for a century or more, without ever needing much more than a good scrub-down now and then. That has been achieved, in part, through design influenced by the site's past as a boat-building yard, employing long-used and well-proved materials - granite, slate and green oak boarding, clad by master shipwrights, which will weather over the years from glowing gold to soft silver.”
