About
St Andrews Museum is a stunning Victorian mansion nestled in the grounds of Kinburn Park. Visitors can expect a lively series of FREE temporary exhibitions and a regular programme of talks and children’s workshops.
Great news – our beautiful cafe is open again! And we’d like to give a big St Andrews Museum welcome to our new partner, Michelle Caulfield and her team from The St Andrews Cake Co. Michelle and her team are having a soft opening from Wednesday 25 June so expect to see the menu expand over the coming weeks.
A-Z Exhibition
More than 70 artefacts feature in our ‘A-Z’ display that highlights an object of local interest for each letter of the alphabet. Among the objects on show are a hoard of medieval coins found in St Andrews and a magnificent embroidered banner created in 1823 for the Thistle and Rose Lodge of the Free Gardeners Society, St Andrews. Other exhibits include a St Andrews board game featuring well-known businesses from 2002, and a beer bottle designed by local artist Susan McGill for the first beer brewed in town for more than 100 years by the St Andrews Brewing Company in 2014. There is also a new display of precious mementoes linked to the 1st Independent Polish Parachute Brigade, formed in Fife during the Second World War.
Unearthed, our family friendly exhibition, has arrived at St. Andrews Museum (until 27 Sept 25). Step back in time to where it all began in our latest family-friendly exhibition. Find out how Scotland was formed, which creatures roamed the land and discover the treasures left by people in Fife over thousands of years. Unearthed features a host of rare and exciting objects, from precious stones and fossil fish to beautifully crafted Bronze Age beaker pots and Viking jewellery. Dig deeper and you will discover some amazing facts – did you know that the land we now call Scotland first formed near the South Pole?
