Perth Museum welcomes its 100,000th visitor

Perth museum on target

Perth Museum officially welcomed 100,000 visitors through its doors since its opening on 30 March 2024. This achievement has out-performed initial projections and is a testament to the museum’s wide appeal, to locals and tourists alike.

The five-star attraction has an annual target of 167,000 visitors, and has now reached 60% of it in just three months. This follows a huge interest in the museum since its opening, which includes the success of Stone, the Museum's cafe. 

The 100,000th visitors, Chris and Maja McEwan from Poland and Jill McEwan from Perth, arrived at 12.05pm on the 3 July. To commemorate this milestone, Chris, Maja and Jill were presented with a commemorative goody bag.

The museum is open seven days a week, from 10am to 5pm, with extended hours until 7pm on Thursday's.

Admission to the museum and The Stone of Destiny exhibit is free. The museum also features a temporary exhibition, Unicorn, with tickets priced at £10 for adults and £8 for concessions. Children under 10 years old can enjoy the exhibition free of charge.
