Elgin Museum in Miniature
Open Fridays – Mondays, 1pm – 4pm
Free Entry!
We’ve created a brand new pop-up museum experience – in our Side Hall! Elgin Museum in Miniature brings together highlights from our most popular collections across a variety of subjects, displayed in a new and unique way!
Visits by appointment are not currently possible due to ongoing problems with our building – the safety of our visitors, volunteers and collections is our primary concern.
