Montrose Museum, Maritime museum in Montrose, Scotland.
The Montrose Museum occupies a neoclassical pink sandstone building with Ionic columns, displaying maritime artifacts, natural history specimens, and regional art collections.
Founded in 1841 by the Montrose Natural History and Antiquarian Society, the museum moved to its current building in 1842, making it one of Scotland's earliest purpose-built museums.
The museum exhibits 38 Egyptian relics from Thebes, Pictish stones from Circinn, and artworks by notable Scottish artists William Lamb, Edward Baird, and David Waterson.
Located in central Montrose, the museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 17:00, offering guided tours and educational programs for visitors of all ages.
The mezzanine floor contains exhibits about the east coast whaling industry, featuring model boats and maritime artifacts that document Scotland's seafaring heritage.
