Life for Edinburgh’s working people
Visit The People’s Story Museum for a unique insight into the lives of ordinary working people in Edinburgh, from the 18th century to just a few years ago. Our displays include tableaux, original objects, images and stories from the past, but it’s also a place to explore contemporary issues, events and opinions.
What makes this museum different is that all of the displays are based around the words of Edinburgh’s people, taken from oral history reminiscences and written sources to tell real stories.
