Museum of Edinburgh

The fascinating history of Scotland’s capital city

Discover Edinburgh’s history while you explore a maze-like 16th century interior full of fascinating and beautiful objects - and learn about some great and gruesome stories while you’re here.

This free museum is easy to find - it’s on the historic Royal Mile. As well as extensive permanent collections, there’s an exciting programme of special exhibitions throughout the year.

"An absolute must, I learnt so much about Edinburgh." Visitor
