Dunblane Museum

Dunblane Museum is housed in a medieval building known as the Dean's House at The Cross, with exhibitions spread across multiple floors. The collections focus on local history and religious objects that document the region's development over centuries.

The building dates from medieval times and was originally a dean's residence, but opened as a museum in 1943 to preserve the region's heritage. Its creation reflected broader efforts to document Scottish ecclesiastical history and local traditions.

The museum displays a large collection of communion tokens from various countries dating back to the 1600s, showing how communities documented religious practice. These small objects reveal how people participated in communion services across centuries in a personal, material way.

A side entrance with a lift provides accessible access to the upper floor for all visitors. Free parking is available nearby.

The museum's garden contains a seventeenth-century well, a quiet relic from another era set within the town. The location sits directly across from both Dunblane Cathedral and Leighton Library, creating a remarkable cluster of religious and cultural buildings.
