Welcome to Elgin Museum!

IN THE INTERESTS OF THE WELL-BEING OF OUR VOLUNTEERS, VISITORS AND STAFF, IT IS UNFORTUNATELY NOT POSSIBLE FOR US TO OPEN FOR THE 2020 SEASON.

WE APOLOGISE FOR ANY DISAPPOINTMENT THIS MAY CAUSE, BUT HOPE THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO ENJOY “VISITING” ELGIN MUSEUM FROM HOME THROUGH OUR CONTINUING DIGITAL CONTENT – AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU BACK TO ELGIN MUSEUM IN 2021.

Although we will be closed for the 2020 Season, you can enjoy a visit to the Museum “from home” with activities & quizzes on our Education and Outreach page, through our YouTube channel, the Museum Musings blog, via our social media feeds, and our online jigsaws. Find and follow us now! (or click on the logos below). If you’ve enjoyed our “Virtual Museum” please consider making a donation via our PayPal page to show your support.

Here 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: changing exhibitions, school visits, what’s on at Elgin Museum, heritage and collections research, as well as how to hire our unique building as a venue for special events.
