David Livingstone Birthplace
Set along the banks of the River Clyde and surrounded by stunning parkland, the Birthplace Museum invites you to follow Livingstone’s journey from Blantyre to Africa through our new interactive exhibition.
Children are encouraged to 'set sail' on our wonderful playground, inspired by Livingstone’s voyages, and explore the grounds using our trails.
Opening Hours
During September and October, the museum is closed on Wednesday and Thursday and open on other days between 10:00 am - 5:00 pm (the last admission is 3:30 pm).
Tours will be running at 11:00 on Friday and Sunday.
Prearranged large groups are welcome to visit at any time - don't hesitate to get in touch with bookings@dltrust.uk for further information.
