Annan Museum
About This Museum
People often wander down Bank Street looking for a tangible piece of Annan's story, and they find it here. It's the kind of place where you can spend a quiet afternoon, piecing together the town's past from the objects left behind. You'll find everything from Roman finds pulled from the Solway silt to more recent memories of local industries. It feels less like a formal museum and more like a series of conversations with the town itself.
Collection Highlights
The real draw is the remarkable collection of Viking-era hogback stones, heavy and intricately carved. You can also get lost in the beautiful Sampler collection, delicate stitches sewn by young hands centuries ago, and explore exhibits on Annan's maritime history along the river.
Visitor Information
Just a heads up, it's temporarily closed at the moment, so you'll want to check ahead before planning your visit. When it reopens, you'll find it right in the heart of things on Bank Street.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a handsome sandstone building that fits right in with Annan's historic character; it has that solid, dependable look of a former library or civic building.
