Dunfermline Carnegie Museum 2025

Galleries on two floors that showcase Dunfermline‘s weaving and mining heritage, wartime history, the nearby Forth Bridges and also changing art exhibitions. The museum isn’t huge, but is very thoughtfully presented and makes a welcome addition to Dunfermline’s optimistically-named Heritage Quarter.

One half of this striking venue is the world’s first Carnegie library, opened in 1883 in the home town of the ultra-wealthy businessman and philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie. The other, of more interest to tourists, is a modern museum wing unveiled in 2017 amidst a flurry of local excitement and architectural awards. Equipping this sizeable Fife town with a second worthwhile museum alongside the one dedicated to Carnegie himself.
