Antiquaries & Collectors
Without the knowledge, endeavour and, in some cases,
exceptional bravery of explorers and collectors the museums and
academic institutes of the world would be not be able to offer the
immense wealth in information and exhibits that people have access
to today. The museum collections of the south-west of Scotland have
been blessed by the contributions and patronage of many such
individuals, who can also be found in our Collectors &
Explorers section.
