Hawick Museum

We are now closed for the Winter season but look forward to seeing you all in Spring 2022.

Discover a town’s treasures in an historic house set in a beautiful park.

This 18th century mansion became home to the town’s museum in 1910. It is the oldest museum in the Scottish Borders and a VisitScotland 4 star attraction.

The objects and fine works of art collected are not just about Hawick but are a window on the world with displays about Ancient Egypt, Nature and local bygones. The War Room tells the story of Hawick’s people in Britain’s wars.

The Jimmie Guthrie and Steve Hislop exhibitions showcase the lives and achievements of Hawick’s two tragic motorbike champions, making the museum a magnet for motorcyclists.

There’s always something new to see with a lively programme of changing museum and art exhibitions. We are pleased to be exhibiting three new displays.

Look Back and Smile from the British Association of Modern Mosaics (BAMM), Unearthed by Mooie Scott and Pictures of Hawick and her People.

Admission is FREE to Hawick Museum however if you are able to make a donation to our charity it would be much appreciated.
