A lovely asset to our community, the refurbished, re laid out and regenerated museum is a great place to bring yourself up to speed with the towns history. They also host a variety of one off exhibitions throughout the year and organise events in and around the town. The volunteers are all excellent and provide a great service.

Small but perfectly formed with knowledgeable hosts and well displayed artefacts that show this town's interesting history. While we were there we were shown aerial photography outlining a Pictish settlement which will hopefully form part of a future exhibit about the prehistory of the local area.

We had a very interesting visit to Grantown museum. A collection of items which tells the story of a planned Highland town. Of particular interest when we were there was the collection of Grant portraits.The organisers should be proud to their achievements.@A.R.MacLure

This is a high quality museum. We have enjoyed special exhibitions there as well as permanent displays about the history of the area. The volunteer staff are always helpful and welcoming. They organise excellent walks from time to time. My wife and I have been holidaying in the area for decades. This refurbished museum is a distinct new asset for visitors.

Excellent Small Museum run by volunteers
This small museum is packed with information & displays about the Grants & how the local area & town were established. There is interactive listening points to confirm the details of the displays. Look out for the clock tower outside.

Small but perfectly formed
An excellent display of the town's interesting history, well set out and labelled. A highlight for me was the chance to play the clarsach, a small harp.

A good place on a rainy day
This is not a very big museum; the current exhibition relates the origin and history of the town , with iPad cameos of members of the Ogilvy- Grant family. A good place to spend a little time if it's raining but not really a must. Good well stocked shop, friendly staff, parking nearby and very good disabled access into the museum.

See it!
If you have Grant ancestry like I do, this museum is an absolute MUST see. If you don't it's still well worth the modest entrance fee to see the development of planned city Grantown-on-Spey. And the docents who are the quiet and intelligent backbone of this museum. They are genuinely interested in their museum and of any ancestor hunting visitors!

Small but perfectly formed
This is a splendid little museum that perfectly balances national and local social history with interesting artefacts and attractive information boards suitable for all ages. We spent a very happy couple of hours here and the staff were delightful, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very helpful. The museum is also beautifully maintained and there is none of that run down, a bit tacky and stuff not working that often happens in small local museums. An excellent example of it’s type and well worth a visit. 
There was also a very good photography exhibition on display.

Small but good
As I say it's small but gives sufficient information about the area and its history. The attached information centre is good and the staff very friendly and helpful.
