| The
Mull Museum is situated on the centre of the main
street of Tobermory, close to the bank.
It is run by volunteers, most of
whom have extensive local knowledge. Although the
museum is only quite small, it is packed with
artefacts of Mull's history. |
 |
| The
museum tries to represent periods of history in
themes. To the right is a display of the working
implements used by craftsmen on the island in the
past |
 |
| The
image to the right displays a domestic scene from
a 'blackhouse' |
 |
| The
display to the right shows documents about the
wreck of a Spanish galleon wrecked in Tobermory
harbour. |
 |
| Not only does the
museum display material from the distant past, it
also deals with episodes of the island's history,
like the second world war. Tobermory was an
important naval harbour and Mull saw its fair
share of military action. The Museum gives a
taste of this era. |
 |
 |
The Museum also has a wide range of images
documents, and family records in store. Members of
the Museum can, by arrangement, view these resources.
However, it must be emphasised again that this museum
is run by volunteers, funds and time are limited.
Open from Easter until the end of October. |
