Welcome to Elgin Museum!

Elgin Museum is now closed for the winter – we look forward to welcoming you back to the Museum in 2022.

While we are closed to visitors, why not explore the Museum “from home”? There are activities & quizzes on our Learning and Outreach page, our Museum Musings blog, find & follow us on social media feeds (click on the icons below), try our online jigsaws or why not sign up to our YouTube channel? And if you enjoy our “Virtual Museum”, please consider making a donation via our PayPal donations page to show your support.

At Elgin Museum you can see objects from all over the world, with a special focus on Moray, and from all periods of history and prehistory – from before the dinosaurs to the present day. The Museum is located at the east end of Elgin High Street, Moray, in the North East of Scotland.

Please explore our website to find out more about the Museum, and read our latest Moray Society Membership NEWSLETTER (November 2020) (342KB pdf) and our Elgin Museum September 2021 Update.

You can now also support Elgin Museum by choosing “The Moray Society” as your chosen charity on AmazonSmile. Every time you shop on smile.amazon.co.uk, Amazon donates 0.5% of the net purchase price (excluding VAT, returns and shipping fees) of eligible purchases to the charitable organisation of your choice. AmazonSmile is the same Amazon, but is accessed via a different website – same products, same prices, same service, but you get to help Elgin Museum every time you buy! So why not help us out while you shop – it’s as simple as selecting The Moray Society as your chosen charity.
