My favourite thing about Penlee House is the picture The Pied Piper of Hamelin by Elizabeth Forbes: I think she is a hugely underrated talent and often better than her more famous husband, Stanhope.

Currently on show at Penlee House is 'Newlyn School Interiors'
The Newlyn School artists are famous for painting outdoors, ‘en Plein air’. The Cornish light and landscape attracted painters to Newlyn.
#MuseumPassion
We specialise in the art of the Newlyn School, a group of painters who settled in Newlyn (just down the road from here) in the 1880s and a later colony of artists who settled in the Lamorna valley. Which do you like best?

This small and intimate exhibition, which will be displayed in the Social History Gallery on the first
