Wardlaw Museum

The Wardlaw Museum takes visitors inside the University of St Andrews, with four thematic galleries on its 600-year history, world-leading research and global impact.

Displays showcase extraordinary art, history, science and natural history and are complemented by a programme of changing exhibitions on a variety of topics. The museum’s terrace offers a stunning view over St Andrews Bay and the historic Old Course.

Activity backpacks for children are available free of charge, as are tours in various languages. The Learning Loft can be used as a space to eat packed lunches. The gift shop offers a wide range of souvenirs, books, gifts and toys inspired by the collections, the University, St Andrews and Scotland’s coast.

The Wardlaw Museum offers a variety of events, including escape room experiences every summer.
