The St Ives area has drawn artists since at least the early days of the 20th century, attracted by the relatively mild climate and soft Cornish light. Tate St Ives is an art gallery devoted to British art, particularly 20th-century works. The gallery is a branch of the Tate in London and was created to recognise the important place occupied by St Ives in the development of art in Britain.

The Arthurian Centre is a fascinating museum based around one of the traditional sites of King Arthur's last battle. According to tradition, Arthur fought his last, fatal battle with Mordred at a site called Camlann. Is this the battlefield site? Well, perhaps. That possibility is enhanced by the fact that at the centre of the 20-acre site lies King Arthur's Stone, an inscribed 6th-century memorial stone on the banks of the River Camel.
