Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum, Museum in Dunfermline, Scotland.
The birthplace museum contains a weaver's cottage and a memorial hall showcasing personal objects, documents, photographs, and exhibitions about Andrew Carnegie's life.
The cottage at 2 Moodie Street, where Carnegie was born in 1835, remained unchanged since Louise Whitfield Carnegie purchased it in 1895.
The museum exhibits demonstrate Carnegie's transformation from a weaver's son to an industrialist who established over 2,800 public libraries worldwide.
Entry to the museum is free of charge, with operating hours from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM daily, and researchers should contact ahead at 01383 724302.
The memorial building features Scottish baronial architecture with decorative panels displaying scrolls and thistle motifs on its boundary walls.
