Venue Description

The four galleries display some of the treasures from the University's collection of over 112,000 artefacts in an interactive and atmospheric setting. There is also a ‘Learning Loft’ and a viewing terrace with panoramic views over St Andrews Bay. A changing exhibition space also means there is something new to see every time you come in! Enjoy the stunning view from the terrace, or pop in to one of our workshops or events for families and adults.
