Opened in 1842, Montrose Museum was one of the first purpose-built museums in Scotland. It tells the story of Montrose and its people, from the earliest archaeological finds - Bronze Age swords and Pictish stones - to the gallant Marquis of Montrose and the Jacobite uprisings, the harbour and maritime trade, to the present day. The art gallery hosts changing exhibitions from the community and from the Museum's collections of paintings and sculptures by local artists.
