The birthplace and memorial to Andrew Carnegie, the weaver's son who made a fortune from the furnaces of the American steel industry and who gave his fortune away to benefit humanity.
At the museum you can find out what life was like in 19th century Dunfermline and what it was like to emigrate to America with just a few possessions. Learn how Andrew Carnegie became the richest man in the world and the father of modern philanthropy.
Explore the museum’s interactive displays, weaving demonstrations and children’s activities. There is also a café and garden, museum shop and an events space.
