Musselburgh Museum
Discover the history of the 'Honest Toun' from earliest times, through its Roman settlement and medieval upheaval to its former valuable industrial mill complex and thriving agricultural, mining and fishing communities.
The Museum is operated by the volunteers of Musselburgh Museum and Heritage Group with support from East Lothian Council. It has a programme of changing displays and exhibitions, so there is always something new to see. There are also activities for children and families and we welcome group visits. Just get in touch - we would be delighted to discuss your requirements.
