The museums team embraces the spirit of enquiry that is at the heart of the University and its research and teaching. We innovate and experiment, and continuously evaluate our projects and our programmes. We aim not only to raise the profile of the Museums of the University of St Andrews, but also to work to establish St Andrews as developing sector-leading practise, to whom others look for inspiration and ideas.  

The University of St Andrews has two Museum spaces which are open to the public, The Wardlaw Museum (open all year round) and the Bell Pettigrew Museum of Natural History (open Monday to Friday afternoons during school holidays).  

The Visitor ervices team for the University Museums will offer an excellent welcome to visitors to both our venues – the Wardlaw Museum and the Bell Pettigrew Museum of Natural History acting as ambassadors for the University of St Andrews.
