CAMPBELTOWN Museum is once again open to the public.
The long-awaited re opening ceremony took place on Wednesday with Councillor Douglas Philand, Argyll and Bute’s spokesman for arts and culture cutting the ribbon.
‘Campbeltown Museum is home to a collection of objects from internationally important archaeological sites,’ he said; a jet necklace in the museum is one of only 10 in Scotland.
Alongside the artefacts is an art collection including two oil paintings by Sir William McTaggart, Archibald MacKinnon and John Campbell Mitchell.
Argyll and Bute now has an agreement with Kilmartin House Museum and Auchindrain Museum where Campbeltown calls upon their experts. This move has brought praise from the Museums Galleries of Scotland. Joanne Orr, chief executive, said: ‘This skills sharing is something we actively encourage between our member museums and galleries and the benefits will be great for all involved.’
