Welcome!
East Lothian Council Museums Service came into existence in 1990 with the appointment of the first Museums Officer, although the then District Council had operated a museum in North Berwick since 1975. The service has five venues:
- Dunbar Town House
- John Gray Centre
- John Muir's
Birthplace - Prestongrange, near Prestonpans;
- Musselburgh Museum run in partnership with Musselburgh Museum and Heritage Group, with assistance from the Museums Service.
The Coastal Museum at North Berwick is a community museum currently being developed in partnership with representatives from each area. It is due to open in 2013.
In addition the service puts on exhibitions and events, and supports activities, including exhibitions, by community groups across East Lothian. We also have an outreach service for schools.
Find out more by downloading our museums leaflet. You can get involved online too on Flickr, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter or by reading our blog.
