History
The museum began in 1985 under the direction of the local Scalloway History Group.[2] Between 2007 and 2011, an abandoned woollen mill adjacent to Scalloway Castle was restored and converted to house the museum to a plan by Richard Gibson Architects.[6] In 2012, the museum reopened in the former mill with an official opening ceremony by Jens Stoltenberg, the Prime Minister of Norway.[1][2][6]
