It’s all going on at St Andrews Museum - a stunning Victorian mansion nestled in the grounds of Kilnburn Park. We have a lively series of temporary exhibitions and a regular programme of talks, concerts and children’s workshops. Free admission and Wifi - a great day out for the whole family that's both educational and fun!
We'd love you to visit our café Sweetpea at the Museum! At its simplest, you'll find artisan food with great tasting coffee and a fantastic range of teas but prepared to be charmed as Sweetpea, with its four seasonal menus, elevates the classics with its own twists and surprises! Their ethos also embraces a wide selection of vegan and gluten-free food.
St Andrews A - Z Exhibition
Explore the town’s fascinating past as a centre of Scottish and global culture through an amazing collection of displays, objects and images. They help to tell its story from the 12th century to its current day incarnation as a major university hub and the spiritual home of golf.
Among the many new objects on show are a hoard of medieval coins found in St Andrews. These were acquired in 2018, with funding from the National Fund for Acquisitions, through the Treasure System, which ensures that artefacts of archaeological and historical significance are preserved in public collections.
Also on show is a magnificent embroidered banner created in 1823 for the Thistle and Rose Lodge of the Free Gardeners Society, St Andrews.
Other new exhibits include a St Andrews board game featuring well-known businesses from 2002, and a beer bottle designed by local artist Susan McGill for the first beer brewed in town for more than 100 years by the St Andrews Brewing Company in 2014.
Museum-goers can see a new display of precious mementoes linked to the 1st Independent Polish Parachute Brigade, formed in Fife during the Second World War.
