Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum & Arts Centre
About This Museum
Tucked away on the shores of Lochmaddy, Taigh Chearsabhagh isn't just a museum; it's the living heart of North Uist. It weaves together the deep threads of local history with a vibrant, contemporary arts programme that always feels relevant. You can feel the past in the very walls, but there's always something new and thought-provoking to discover around the corner. It’s a place where tradition and today’s creative voices meet and have a conversation.
Collection Highlights
You'll find everything from old Harris Tweed looms and fascinating 'x-ray' photos of fishing flies to a stunning archive of local photographs that tell a thousand stories. Their art galleries are constantly changing, showcasing work from islanders and international artists alike, often inspired by this unique landscape.
Visitor Information
Pop in for a coffee at their lovely cafe, wander through the exhibitions at your own pace, and don't forget to peek into the print workshop to see artists at work. It's the perfect spot to spend a few hours, especially if the Hebridean weather turns.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a charming old stone building that was once a merchant's house and inn, it has all the character you'd hope for, with modern extensions thoughtfully added on.
