Exhibition opened: 7 November 2026; regional report: 10 November. Added to UKPX: 13 November.
The Owlman of Mawnan has become the starting point for an interactive exhibition at Falmouth Art Gallery. Myths of the Owl Creature opened on 7 November and is scheduled to continue until 28 November.
A story visitors can change
The gallery’s listing names artists Tom Milnes and Jess Pemberton, working as Mawnan Research Mafia. It describes an evolving digital environment combining projection, sound, 3D scanning and works from the collection, with visitors contributing to the developing work.
A 10 November report by CornishStuff also names musician Seamouse and explains how the installation draws on Mawnan’s Owlman legend.
Folklore becomes an artistic medium
This is cultural news about how a Cornish mystery is being retold. The exhibition explores stories and speculative world-building; its existence does not verify a creature sighting.
The official listing gives Falmouth Art Gallery, Municipal Buildings on The Moor, as the venue. Readers planning a visit should use the gallery’s current opening information rather than treating this retrospective news item as a booking confirmation.
