At Elgin Museum you can see objects from all over the world, with a special focus on Moray. Explore the museum virtually via our website!

Elgin Museum is Scotland's oldest continuously independent museum, founded in 1836. The Museum's collections are housed in an Italianate-style Category A listed building at the east end of Elgin High Street. Here 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.

On our website you can find out more about the Museum, its changing exhibitions, as well as details of family events, activities and lectures. The Museum can also offer school visits, and has resources for heritage and collections research. You can even hire our beautiful building as a venue for weddings, corporate events, parties and more!

Highlights of the permanent displays include our Recognised collection of local fossils, the largest Pictish and Early Medieval carved stone collection in Moray, and "People and Place" which tells the story of the last 1000 years of Moray.

Annually, we have new exhibitions from the Museum's collection as well as a number of art exhibitions by local artists.

Admission to the Museum is free, but donations are most welcome. For the 2021 season, booking is essential.

Elgin Museum is owned and managed by the membership organisation, The Moray Society, and is run almost entirely by volunteers. New members and volunteers are always welcomed, to help support the Museum's activities and the service it provides to the community.
