Elgin Museum Young Marvels
The Young Marvels is Elgin Museum’s under-18s youth group, named in honour of our local fossil Elginia Mirabilis (or Elgin Marvel).
To become a Young Marvel, contact our Membership Secretary, Bill Dalgarno.
Once you are over 18, you can stay with us by becoming a full member of the Moray Society.

Explore! Elgin Museum
As part of our 2017 HLF-funded project, we created an exciting children’s activity book and town centre trail, “Explore! Elgin Museum”. It can be downloaded (3mb pdf) or you can pick up a free copy on your next visit to the museum – not only can you explore where some of our objects were originally found but you can also design your own museum!
Read issues of current and past Young Marvels newsletters to find out what the group has been up to.
