Excellent museum - although the building is original, the interior is a modern museum rather than a mock-up of what it would have been like. The information is very well presented, and the two staff that I spoke to were friendly and helpful. And entry is free.
The staff here is so welcoming. I really enjoyed my tour of the museum. I would highly recommend.
The story of John Muir beautifully told through displays, videos and interactive exhibits. We didn’t expect to be so moved by John’s story.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo wait
We were thrilled to see such a comprehensive exhibit as we are from Martinez, California and share the John Muir legacy. Our dear friend Will Collin and the team at the birthplace have done a wonderful job with both the permanent and rotating exhibits. Well done!!
Such a well presented and fact filled workshop presented by Tracy and David. We all left feeling inspired by the great John Muir.
Very nice memorial to John Muir. The 3 levels of museum were really interactive and well made. I'm a native Californian and outdoors enthusiast, so this place is a memorial to one of my heroes!
A little gem in Dunbar. I loved this museum dedicated to John Muir. It will be useful for my teaching also. Keen for the kids to do an award. Give a donation if you can.
What a lovely and thoughtful initiative to make a museum of one of the greatest humans who ever lived and who was born here. Very well curated and extremely engaging. Good quality movies and short clips playing. Friendly staff, lovely city of Dunbar Scotland.
Visited the museum as the end stop of our 4 day John Muir Way cycle trip from Helensburgh to Dunbar. The ladies there were so nice, friendly and helpful. They presented us with our completion certificates and made a bit of a ceremony of it. Finished off our trip so well and made it even more memorable. Really appreciated that after 4 days of cycling.
A Most interesting place indeed. The story of John Muir is clearly presented in detail with pictures to add that feeling of knowing his roots and the family he came from, what life for he and his siblings was like, then when his parents decided to emigrate we moved on to his mighty adventures as an inventor then an environmentalist entrusting his legacy to be continued even to this day. All this and more for FREE! Well worth a donation on leaving the building. I would love to have known what became of the rest of the Siblings.
