Falkland Islands Museum and National Trust

Falkland Islands Museum and National Trust, History museum in Stanley, Falkland Islands.

The Falkland Islands Museum is a history museum in Stanley housing collections on maritime heritage, natural history, and the 1982 conflict spread across several gallery spaces. The exhibits include over 5000 artifacts documenting the islands' development and past.

The first permanent museum was opened on 9 November 1909 by Governor Sir William Lamond Allardyce, after his wife advocated for a collection of the colony's history. Housed in the old Infant School, it later moved to the Town Hall, where most of the collection was lost in a fire on 16 April 1944. A volunteer-run museum opened in the 1960s, and the collection was stored during the 1982 Argentine occupation. The museum reopened in Britannia House in 1989 and moved to the Historic Dockyard in 2014.

The museum displays everyday objects and craft techniques that shaped how island residents lived and worked across generations. Visitors can see the traditions of sheep farming and fishing that remain central to local life today.

The museum stands on Holdfast Road at the historic dockyard, about 1.7 km west of Stanley's main jetty. Opening hours change with the season: longer days in summer, shorter mornings and a midday break in winter, and extended hours when cruise ships are in port. The galleries occupy several rooms, so allow time to walk through them all.

The museum contains an interactive room featuring personal accounts from islanders during the 1982 conflict alongside a complete national stamp collection dating from 1878. These two collections offer unusual windows into island history through both personal narrative and postal heritage.
