Background
History
The Kilmartin Museum Trust was founded in 1994 by Rachel Butter and David Clough, to preserve and promote the archaeological heritage of the area. The museum, then known as Kilmartin House Centre for Archaeology and Landscape Interpretation, opened to the public in 1997. The museum closed in 2021 for a £7 million redevelopment project to join the existing museum to a neighbouring building to expand the available gallery space.
