About

Inverness Museum & Art Gallery

Story

ADMISSION FREE!! (But we invite donations.)
Follow the Museum’s timeline to discover how the unique highland landscape was formed. Find out about the Picts and their beautiful carved stones, the world wide links of medieval Inverness and the importance of Gaelic language and culture. In the upstairs galleries the story continues with the Stuarts and Bonnie Prince Charlie, music, the stunning Inverness silver collection and ends with the modern city of Inverness.
There are lots of things to do - feel the weight of the Achavrail bronze armlet, play Merells or Hnefetafl, learn how to say some Gaelic words and phrases or wrap yourself up in an 18th century style highland kilt. The Highland Photographic Archive held within the museum is responsible for preserving and cataloguing negatives and photographs from all over the Highlands and to then make them accessible to all. The archive is now home to well over 100,000 negatives and prints which relate to most areas of the highlands but the majority are from Inverness and the surrounding area.
We have a vibrant Art Gallery with a programme of temporary touring exhibitions of local, national and international art and craft. There is also a Community Gallery for local groups to show their exhibitions. The museum has shop and a café for you to relax in.

Reviews
Beautiful area! The museum and art gallery are situated on a raised area which looks over the town. Great to visit for the views and pictures alone. As an attraction it's interesting for anyone that likes galleries and museums however it's on the smaller scale and doesn't really have much wow factor. I enjoyed it as I'm into these types of things but I don't think this would be for everyone. Check it out and make that decision for yourself - the good thing is, if it isn't - its situated in the town so you can leave and go shopping or grab food instead!

A great we couple of hour filler or an afternoon of fun history and learning. Fabulous wee museum. I have been before and I will return once more.

Gallery portion constantly changing, and always thought-provoking. Collections well-curated, and active programme of inclusive events always well worth attending. The exterior is poor-looking, but inside the staff work really hard to lift this treasure of Inverness and involve the community. Not static and staid, but worth visiting regularly! Don't forget to visit the sister Castle Viewpoint at the side of the castle while you are there, not free but well worth the £5 for spectacular views over the surrounding area. The Viewpoint is currently open 7 days a week (though reduced winter hours) as it has proved so popular.
