The museum was founded in 1871 and contains a wealth of Moray's heritage. From social history to the story of the 'Corries' Folk Group, and taking in the early history of Moray, the Falconer Museum is an essential stop for locals and visitors alike. There is a Museum Shop with postcards, souvenirs and information sheets.

Displays & Exhibitions

It is the aim of The Moray Council that the museum is both enjoyable and educational. New permanent displays are planned , and existing ones improved, to make the heritage of Moray more interesting for residents and visitors alike.

Educational Services

The Museum Service is able to assist schools, adult education groups and other community groups with information and access to historical resources to augment their many activities. Subject to availability and the materials themselves, we shall try to satisfy requests for the loan of items from the collections.

Conservation and Photographic Service

The specialised skills used in our conservation workshop are necessary to ensure the survival of our collections for the benefit of future generations. We welcome enquiries relating to the care of historical material, and although we are unable to undertake private commissions for clients, we can guide enquirers to appropriate sources of expertise. There is a photographic print service for copies of images on display.
