A very interesting story about a very interesting man. Everything is well presented and described. It's easy to hit and, what's also important, absolutely free. Worth a visit and leave a few pounds just like that as a souvenir.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Wonderful little museum in the birthplace of Andrew Carnegie. It was amazing to see how much good he did around the world through parks, libraries, performance halls, and more. Andrew Carnegie’s father was a weaver and they have a working jacquard loom in the house. The part of the house where the family lived is restored to period furniture and personal effects of the family. The second part of the museum has Carnegie’s life after he left for America, how he effected the world and on-going legacy. There are many artefacts and things from his life in this part of the museum as well. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable with an enthusiasm for what they do working there. The middle room is a wee café and there is also a wee gift shop. If you’re interested in learning and the life and times of Andrew Carnegie, we recommend a visit. Check the hours to make sure it is open before you go. It was closed the first time we went. There’s no charge for admission.
Deffo the wow factor. Visited Andrew carnegie museum on my birthday today with my wife & am i glad we did. Absolutely fantastic & I'd not hesitate to recommend to visitors.
we were welcomed into the museum warmly and immediately noticed how careful and safe the museum is with covid standards. Beth, who greeted us, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. the museum itself was super interesting and had a wide variety which surprised us because it doesn't look as big from the outside. would definitely visit again, there is plenty to read and look at for at least two hours.
This is a gem of a place to visit, if you miss it you will be forever at a loss. Quite apart from the Scottish angle of his birth and childhood if you're an American you will be amazed how this one mans contribution to the building of America's infrastructure shaped its future. Does Carnegie hall ring a bell ? Carnegie library ? Andrew Carnegie's legacy continues to build America to this very day. Take the trouble to dig deep into history and find out for yourself about this amazing man and his achievements.
Nicely laid out and very helpful friendly staff. The children enjoyed the activities.
July 2017: Love Carnegie or loathe him but here, be inspired! Carnegie is bound to provoke debate and there looked like a decent tapas restaurant nearby to do just that Great staff at the museum and a knowledgeable curator who remembered my parents visit from the other day and had lovely things to say. In terms of presentation, the cottage birthplace forms one half of the museum start there. There are a couple of good "press the button" audio stories in the cottage upstairs. I prefer these to the "continuous loop" type audio that there was in the weaving room because it interferes with reading the panels. This becomes tricky when trying to understand the complicated jaquard panel with audio going on at the same time. We'll time our next visit with the weaving demonstration usually on the first Friday of the month phone first. The story after Carnegie emigrates to the US continues in the main hall. There is a cafe area between the two. I could smell soup but could only see a coffee machine and forgot to ask. There's a pretty, very wee garden just off this room - with flax! There are information panels at child height all round the museum. Apparently there are other child trails activities but the person responsible wasn't there that day to ask. The displays have some repetition and contradictory dates at one point but the overall impression and information is very interesting. A member of staff mentioned that the library the first C. donated has recently been restored and is well worth visiting. I remember from previous visits to the town there is a decent playpark in the the Glen Pittencrieff park just outside.
