• Our History


  • The museum had its early beginnings through the gifting of a notable collection of Ancient Greek coins. Garnering an extensive collection of meteorites and Cretaceous era fossils from a generous donor expanded the scope of the museum’s holdings. The recent addition of an assortment of historic significant and scientifically intriguing objects has placed the museum on firm footing to expand its online presence.

    Named Oolkay from the Dark Age Cornish phrase, ‘Keeper of the Old Keys’, the museum is fully funded and independent of government, private donor, or crowdfunding support.

    The museum does indeed encompass the keeping of the old keys, to unlocking and understanding our march out of the cosmos and the miraculous mind of mankind.

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

- Sir Isaac Newton
