Free museum with good wheelchair access

We visited this museum whilst in Lerwick on a motorhome holiday. It tells the history of Shetland, including geology, wildlife and culture. It is really interesting and informative.

Interesting & Free!

Everyone visiting Lerwick should stop here. This FREE yes FREE museum is massive. As with all good stories it starts right at the beginning explaining how Shetland was made, early settlers and then through the ages. There is two floors of artefacts, it really appealed to me as you didn't have to spend too long reading screeds of info, they kept it all short and sweet, and friendly. Great level access through out. You could easily spend half a day here if you read everything. Nice wee restaurant onsite too.
