The Stewartry Museum
Opened in 1893, this traditional late Victorian museum has been considerably upgraded while still retaining its original charm.
The museum’s collections chiefly relate to the human and natural history of the Stewartry - the eastern half of Galloway - also known as Kirkcudbrightshire. The social history collections of the 18th and 19th century are particularly important and offer a fascinating insight into Stewartry.
Amongst the displays you’ll find fascinating exhibits like the Siller Gun, Britain’s earliest surviving sporting trophy, and beautiful works by renowned Kirkcudbrightshire artists including Jessie M King. Temporary exhibitions also highlight different aspects of the collection – contact the museum for details.
