Arsenic: What Price Beauty? at Wheal Martyn
Arsenic: What Price Beauty? brings the work of a contemporary Cornish artist to Wheal Martyn, the open-air museum dedicated to Cornwall's china clay heritage near St Austell. The exhibition title hints at an exploration of beauty's darker costs — a fitting theme for a site shaped by industrial extraction. Whether you're a regular visitor to Wheal Martyn or coming for the first time, the exhibition adds a contemporary creative layer to its already rich surroundings. Doors open from 10am on Friday 16 October 2026.
