Highland Museums

In 2006 the Highland Folk Museum, Inverness Museum and Art Gallery and the Highland Photographic Archive amalgamated into the Highland Museums.   

Highland Museums' vision:

Highland Museums aim to provide a welcoming museums service that provide inspiration, learning and enjoyment for all. 

In order to fulfil our vision we offer a service to the public, which includes:

• Welcoming staff and friendly atmosphere at the museum sites
• Permanent and temporary exhibitions and displays open to the public for learning and enjoyment
• Online access to the Highland Photographic Archive
• Opportunity to purchase copies of photographs from the Highland Photographic Archive
• An activity programme aimed at inspiring those who take part
• A learning and access service that reflects the needs and interests of the communities that we serve
• An enquiries service related to the collections
