This holiday hone your sailor craft skills with the team at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall in Falmouth, with a range of activities inspired by the era of Captain Bligh, one of the museum's major new exhibitions.

Visitors can make their own ship in a bottle, sea chests, sea maps and scrimshaw, and there's lots of live entertainment too, including pirate puppet shows and The Voyage of the Mystery, a spell-binding and interactive live show featuring a mix of music, story-telling, drama and role play.

The museum also has two other exhibitions on show - Tattoo: British Tattoo Art Revealed, which offers a ground breaking and comprehensive history of British tattooing, featuring cutting edge designers, leading academics and major private collectors; and Skeleton: new sculptures inspired by Old Boats, which is by the museum's first ever artist in residence, Rob Johnsey.

Over Easter weekend there will be chocolate casting - make your own chocolate Easter shapes and a daily Easter trail.

Children will also love the Captain Bligh: Myth, Man and Mutiny exhibition, which brings to life one of the greatest small boat survival stories in history, featuring relics from the voyage and a specially built reproduction of the HMS Bounty launch, giving a very real sense of the situation of the 18 men who sailed it over 3600 nautical miles across the Pacific.

And of course there are all the usual family favourites: 15 galleries over four floors. Jump aboard the boats, climb the 100 foot Look Out Tower, watch shipwrights at work in the boat building workshop, go under water in the Tidal Zone, hear ocean adventures and survival stories and learn to sail miniature boats on our waterfront boat pool.
