    Great to see local history but not very disabled friendly if you don't have a wheelchair. No parking either, however if you give advance notice they state they will try to accommodate. No use if going there ad hoc though , but advised when it gets upgraded.

    Bit of a dated display. Not particularly good at illustrating the history of the town. A chronological approach would be better instead of having it all mixed in with taxidermy and Egyptian artifacts. Paisley Artist's Exhibition is generally good, but with the usual amount of tat. So much kept in storage and never displayed (especially some of the Victorian paintings), but this has recently all been moved to the High St. Regardless, still love the place and hope the council is sensible in its redevelopment.

    Paisley museum and art gallery what a beautiful relaxing place to spend the afternoon, great exhibitions and art,amazing knowledgeable staff that are will king to help and discuss The exhibits. Everyone should visit often to take a moment to reflect on something other than the here and now, very cathartic! There is a bus stop directly out side and plenty of car parks close by if you need them.

    The museum is a little elderly and small and I am very much looking forward to seeing what the renovations and changes do when the library moves, but until then the staff are great and knowledgable and it's a good place for a FREE visit (some exhibitions have a charge).

    Visited for the Star Wars toy exhibitions with the family. A bit disappointed that they decided not to allow photos in the main exhibition but it was quite interesting. The kids loved the observatory and we will return one evening to see it in action. There is a side entrance for wheelchair and buggy access that enters from the car park that we missed on the way in. Lots of stairs but lifts around to make things accessible

    Lovely little museum. Just enough to look at, from dinosaur foot prints to a mummified child!! A good amount about Paisley's history too. Pram and wheelchair access is up the ramp at the side you just press the bell and once inside there is a lift to get up to the main floor.

    Wonderful museum that will appeal both the the natural scientist and art aficionado. Make sure that you are there during the 11am to 1pm time frame to hear the organ recital, it's not to be missed. Protip: Make sure you find the Impressionist gallery, it's subtly labeled "French" and has some wonderful pieces that you wouldn't expect to find.

    Remember the model you could see about 7 years ago of what would open in 2021. COVID isn't an excuse when nothing has changed since it was a building site in 2016. No doubt the companies involved still get paid by Renfrewshire Council. On the plus side the workies are friendly enough to pass a joint around when you're passing by. Because passing by is all you'll do for another 5 years

👍👍 With the unseasonable sunny weather (!) Kicking in, I have been out and about and taking walks at this park much more recently. It's only a few minutes from my house which is convenient, because it is absolutely lovely. It's a nice half hour stroll on a grey overcast day, but the sunshine has seen m...
