Kilmartin Museum
For over twenty years, Kilmartin Museum has been interpreting, explaining and conserving the archaeological and natural heritage of Kilmartin Glen. Situated at the heart of this internationally important landscape on the west coast of Scotland, Kilmartin Museum cares for ancient artefacts from across Argyll.
The Museum reopened in 2023 following a major redevelopment project which has created exciting new visitor experiences, and upgraded our collections and learning facilities.
Kilmartin Museum would like to thank our funders, whose generous support has enabled us to provide free access to our evening talks programme.
