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.

Lovely, small but informative and atmospheric museum introducing the rich history of the area. Also has a cafe with views out to the nearby cairns. Great teas, coffees and snacks. Clean toilet facilities. A great place to head before or after exploring the glen

Very informative, covers the history of the area extensively, including into the bronze age Fun activities for kids, the exhibits are interesting, well laid out, and the staff are lovely. The cafe was shut unfortunately The art exhibit at the end was a bit modern for my taste but that's an optional extra. There is parking onsite

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.

Brand new museum, highlighting the local history, in theory, but really applicable to anywhere in the country. Fabulously presented, though the video presentation at the end was laughable and put a downer on the visit. We did the walk from the museum and it was underwhelming, to say the least. Museum well worth a visit but don't base your day around it.

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.
