Falconer Museum

The Falconer Museum is a Victorian-era museum in Forres, Scotland, founded through a bequest by Forres-born merchant Alexander Falconer for "a public museum in Forres for objects of art and science inclusive of a library and lecture room." Its collections include social history, archaeology, natural history, World Heritage and paleontological material associated with the Victorian polymath Hugh Falconer. Following Moray Council's 2019 funding cuts, all museum staff were made redundant in April 2020 and the museum remains closed; the Friends of the Falconer Museum continue to advocate for its reopening.
