Mull Museum

Mull Museum was established in the 1970s as a small summer exhibition before securing its permanent home in Columba Buildings, Tobermory in 1986. Our museum preserves the rich history of the Isle of Mull through extensive collections, archives, and library resources. Accredited by MLA and affiliated with Museums Galleries Scotland, we operate as an independent charitable trust entirely staffed by volunteers. Our mission combines public education with community engagement, offering free entry while relying on donations to sustain operations. We actively support archaeological research and provide access to historical materials for academic and public use. Our volunteer-driven model fosters local participation in heritage preservation through digitisation projects, educational programs, and hands-on archaeological digs.

We maintain rigorous professional standards in collection management and public access, with our committee overseeing both daily operations and long-term conservation efforts. Our facilities include dedicated spaces for exhibitions, research, and storage of irreplaceable historical artifacts. We collaborate with national heritage organisations and local communities to advance understanding of Scotland's rural past. Our commitment to accessibility and educational outreach remains central to our operations across all programs and services.
