Kilmartin Museum

Since the museum looked rather small, I was pondering if the 16.70£ (Adult) would be worth it. But it absolutely was! This is an excellent Museum. There are a lot of hands on things for old and young and I think it’s a perfect example how to exhibit archaeological finds. 👌 There is a cute little Bistro at the site that served cake and snacks.

This is an outstanding first class museum, including interactive exhibits. A must-go if you are at all interested in the cultural and/ or geological history of the area. Kilmartin was a mecca for ancient peoples. Around the side of the building is a trail going directly to Neolithic monuments.

We had a great visit - John & I had visited a few times before and enjoyed our visits. However, the new museum was wonderful, the layout and information were excellent. We loved the video of the area with the wildlife - great photography

The small museum is modernised and gives a comprehensive impression of the ancient history of the Glen and beyond. Wonderful audiovisual presentation of a sacred ritual.

A recently reopened museum with the displays very well presented, especially the visual plotting of sites in the landscape that shows the wealth of archaeology in the area, more than impressive ! A couple of key things let down this place - the somewhat odd sequence in which you start with post medieval history and go back in time as you progress through the museum, it just makes the story harder to get to grips with - and then there's the admission price, over £17. Judging by other reviews and what I saw at the shop before entering, this is putting off a lot of people from going in. I completely understand the need for finances, but I suspect the inflated admission fee is in effect resulting in less actual money coming in from the public overall, they are in effect shooting themselves in the foot, and not increasing awareness of Kilmartin glen as much as they could. It's a great shame. The fact that the ticket lasts a year is really irrelevant, I suspect 95% of visitors will never return within 12 months.

Carefully thought out, narrated and ethically displayed archaeology. Lovely cafe with good food and view of cairns.

A well laid out and interesting museum. The development it has undergone in recent years is clearly worth it, with a great layout, interesting exhibits and well thought out and interesting information text. Great walks around about too

A wonderful museum if a bit pricey. The walk to the monuments is stunning and flat all the way.
