Shetland Museum
Shetland Museum is a History Museum at Hay's Dock, Lerwick, Shetland, ZE1 0WP, United Kingdom
The Shetland Museum and Archives, on the Hay's Dock waterfront in Lerwick, tells the story of the islands from their geological beginnings to the present. Its collections span the Norse heritage that still shapes Shetland, the fishing and crofting that sustained island life, boats, textiles and folklore, housed in a modern building beside a restored dock. A rich and rewarding introduction to the archipelago.

Great find on cruise visit, all the coffee shops in town were full, this one was empty, had free WiFi and the food and drink were perfect
