Lyness, Scotland KW16 3NT
After being closed for 5 years and undergoing a £4.4m renovation, Scapa Flow Museum has reopened to the public. The museum has some returning favourites and some never seen before objects, which help tell the story of Scapa Flow being at the centre of the British naval universe during both world wars. You can also discover the equally important story of how this influx of thousands of service people affected the daily lives of the people of Orkney and their lasting legacy on the archipelago. Scapa Flow Museum’s role is to chart Orkney’s military involvement in the First and Second World Wars and provide a safe home for a major collection of wartime artefacts, many of national and international importance. The newly re-developed museum helps share this story through the display of over 250 interesting artefacts and is also brought to life though interactive exhibits throughout the building. SORRY, NO DOGS ALLOWED, EXCEPT FOR ASSISTANCE DOGS.
