St Andrews Heritage Museum & Garden

After 18 months of redevelopment, St Andrews Heritage Museum & Garden is delighted to announce its reopening on 14 September.  The £1.8m project has included the restoration of the historic roof, the refurbishment of outbuildings, and the creation of a new temporary exhibition space, ‘The Garden Gallery’.  The works have improved accessibility and brought much needed facilities, including visitor toilets and offices. 

The independent museum at 12 North Street will reopen with six permanent exhibitions spaces that focus on the social history of St Andrews, with the first temporary exhibition titled ‘Unbroken Threads: Ukrainian Reflections on Home, Community & Hope’. 

Museum Manager, Sam Walker, said: “This transformational project is over 5 years in the making, and it is the first redevelopment of the museum since it opened over 40 years ago by enthusiastic volunteers. It was critical to restore the roof and resolve issues around accessibility and facilities, but we have used this as an opportunity to engage new audiences and amplify local stories.”
