Shetland Museum and Archives is the starting point for an unforgettable experience of Shetland's rich heritage and culture.
The galleries are full of artefacts and stories of these amazing islands and the history of the people who live here.
Set in the restored working dock, the building includes an exhibition space, gift shop and extensive archives. The stunning three story boat hall with boats suspended in mid air is an awesome sight, or why not visit the working boat shed and see traditional boat building and repair skills in practice.
