The Shetland Museum and Archives is the starting point for anyone who wants to know more about our Heritage and Culture.  With over 3,000 artefacts on two floors, a wealth of easily accessible archival material, a temporary exhibition area, Boat Hall and Sheds, public art, auditorium, shop and Café Restaurant it has something for everyone. 

There is also a programme of events and activities for all ages throughout the year. Please view our What's On section for more details.

We would sincerely like to thank everyone who supported our Art Fund Prize nomination and everyone who voted for us in the Culture24 public poll. Your support is greatly appreciated.

Shetland Museum and Archives is hosting a conference ‘St Ninian’s Isle Treasure – 50 years on’ to celebrate the return of the famous St Ninian’s Isle Treasure and the fiftieth anniversary of its discovery. Read more on our What's On page.
