Attraction Information
A historic journey awaits all budding explorers at The Museum Of Edinburgh. Described as the city’s treasure box there's so much to discover.
The maze of historic rooms will take you through Edinburgh’s rich history from past to present. Meet Scottish people of the past, discover ancient trades and beautiful crafts. Kids can channel their inner Sherlock Holmes on the detective trails, tell their favourite horrible history tales in the storytelling corner, or just be free to explore the colourful galleries. Regular exhibitions mean there’s always something new going on.
