About Us

Shetland Museum and Archives is a five star VisitScotland rated Visitor Attraction, which welcomes an average of 86,000 visitors per year.

The building was opened by Her Majesty the Queen of Norway and Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay on 31st May 2007, when the extensive and rich collections of both Shetland Museum and Shetland Archives were brought together in one building for the first time; telling the fascinating story of Shetland’s heritage and culture and providing an unforgettable visitor experience.

The service is managed by Shetland Amenity Trust on behalf of Shetland Islands Council.

The Textiles and Archaeology Collections cared for by Shetland Amenity Trust are Recognised Collections of National Significance in Scotland.
