Inverness Museum and Art Gallery is situated in the historic center of the city at the foot of the Castle hill.The museum`s permanent displays cover all aspects of Highland life. Inverness’ first museum was opened in 1826 by the ‘Northern Institute for the promotion of Science and Literature’. Its collections were inherited by the current museum, which was founded on the current site in 1880. Since then the museum has undergone a number of transformations, most recently in 2006, when the building was extensively refurbished with a range of new displays and visitor facilities.
