Dumfries Museum And Camera Obscura

Museums

Dumfries

Dumfries & Galloway

Visit a treasure trove of archaeology, natural history and Scottish history in one of the country's oldest museums.

From fossil footprints left by prehistoric reptiles to the wildlife of the Solway marshes, the tools and weapons of the region's earliest inhabitants to stone carvings of Scotland's first Christians, the museum offers a fascinating journey of discovery through the region's history.

Please check our website for opening hours and seasonal variations, along with our current events programme.

Dumfries Museum has the world's oldest working camera obscura. To care for this ancient scientific instrument we cannot operate it in wet weather or high winds. It's open to visitors at other times, with a charge of £4 adults and £2 children for a demonstration.
