Situated in Viewfield House, Nairn Museum offers visitors and locals alike a fascinating insight into the life and times of the town and surrounding area over the centuries. The wide range of permanent displays featuring various aspects of Nairn's history are well laid out and informative and, in addition a huge collection of archive material is available for study.
Each year there is also a special programme of visiting exhibitions. The Museum particularly welcomes children, providing a range of pick-up-and-touch exhibits and a safe play area. Nairn Museum is staffed by Volunteers. It is the hard work of these Volunteers both front of house and behind the scenes that allows the Museum to remain open.

Excellent little museum, social distancing and sanitiser in place and such friendly knowledgeable staff.
The museum has 2 flights of stairs inside, but there is a stair lift and a wheelchair available for anyone that needs it. Also toilets on Upper floor.
Viewfield park where the museum is sited has tennis courts, bowling, sports centre and community & arts centre. The museum has lots of interesting information and exhibits, loads of local info on what Nairn used to look like. Also exhibits on Nairn's hero's and heroines. Children's room and classroom. A great source of information.

This is an excellent museum with plenty memorabilia from yesteryear. On entrance you are given a warm welcome and are given a small guide of what you can expect to see. The museum is run entirely by volunteers and they have obviously spent a considerable time in making it an interesting place to visit. The military room is quite something with various medals to see, it also tells the story of some of Nairn's war heroes. I was also interested in the archive photo collection they are putting together. I was here for about an hour but I could have spent much more time. The museum is open April until
