Dollar Museum Trust was set up for the education of the general public by providing a physical museum for the storage, care, protection, display and interpretation of a collection of artefacts and archives relating to Dollar and its environs. The Museum has a range of permanent and temporary exhibitions and a reading/research room and is open every weekend between Easter and Christmas and at other times for special pre-booked visits. Educational visits are encouraged and received from local schools and other community groups, as well as individual researchers and pupils gaining project experience for the Duke of Edinburgh Award. The Museum website is updated regularly and gives much information for 'virtual' visitors. New exhibitions and developments are researched and undertaken by Trustees and volunteers from the Friends of Dollar Museum, who also arrange a variety of activities to raise funds for the maintenance of the Museum and to safeguard its future development.
