The Stewartry Museum was founded in 1879. As the collections grew, the present purpose-built museums was opened in 1893. In recent years, the interior has been considerably upgraded whilst retaining its charm as a traditional late Victorian museum. The collections chiefly relate to the human and natural history of the Stewartry also known as Kirkcudbrightshire. The permanent collection includes the "Siller Gun" - Britain's earliest surviving sporting trophy, and works by Kirkcudbrightshire artists including Jessie M King.
