Eyemouth Museum is based in the centre of the town and documents the fishing and social heritage of Eyemouth, brought to life in its exhibits and through stories from local people. Central to the museum is the famous Eyemouth Tapestry that commemorates the Great East Coast Fishing Disaster of 1881, known as Black Friday, when 129 Eyemouth men lost their lives at sea. The tapestry was hand crafted by 24 local women and took 2 years to complete and is truly a sight to behold. As a museum, tourist information centre exhibition gallery and gift shop, we're sure you'll find more than one reason to visit Eyemouth Museum.

    If you are visiting the area, this small museum certainly will grab your attention ... It is not very big, so it won't take too much of your time, but worth a visit. you will find lots of info about the life of the fishing villages as well as interesting news of the era

    The museum is ok....a bit pricey for what it is.
  • By Alistair Irving On June 14, 2017
    Shop Review only. Only had time for a quick nose around. Lots of local information and local art available. Upstairs is predominantly children's books, However there are a selection of local walking/cycling guides.
