Museum

A case of exhibits at the John Gray Centre museumWelcome!

The museum in the John Gray Centre is an exciting new development in Haddington, telling stories from across the region and displaying many artefacts never seen before.

The  East Lothian Council Museums team puts on exhibitions and events, and supports activities and exhibitions put on by community groups across East Lothian. You can download our programme of What’s On at all our museums here.

Find out more about proposing an exhibition or Personal View case here, or contact us or leave a comment below.

We also have an outreach service for schools – see the Learning section (still under development) of the website to find out more, or have a look at our Museums Schools Programme 2012–13 to see what’s available for schools and teachers across East Lothian.

Here’s how we set up the museum ready for opening in March 2012:

There are three more museums in East Lothian which we also run:

Musselburgh Museum, on Musselburgh High Street near the Old Town Hall, is run by the Musselburgh Museum Heritage Group in partnership with the Museums Service. It is open 10:30am to 4pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

The Coastal Communities Museum at North Berwick is due to open later in 2013. It will be a community museum and is currently being developed in partnership with representatives from each part of the coastal ward: North Berwick, Gullane, Aberlady, Dirleton and Whitekirk.

Each museum has long-term and temporary displays about the local area and plenty of activities for all the family to enjoy.

There are other museums in East Lothian too, including the National Museum of Flight and the Myreton Motor Museum.
