Keep up to date with new stories and details of what our researchers are doing to preserve and promote Shetland's heritage and culture.
The Museum and Archives is managed by the Shetland Amenity Trust, a small charity caring for Shetland's natural and cultural heritage. It is free to visit the Museum and Archives and here we share our work with you through our blogs and news. Donations are welcomed to help the Trust care for the collections and our heritage both now and in the future.
A display of 'new to us' art is on display throughout the galleries and will be updated regularly during 2016/17.
