Rozelle House Museum and Galleries
Rozelle House Museum and Galleries displays objects, artefacts and works of art from the South Ayrshire Council collections, as well as offering a changing programme of exhibitions, events and activities.
The Georgian mansion Rozelle House has been an Accredited Museum – the UK industry standard for museums and galleries – since 2003. This means we can display and exhibit South Ayrshire Council collections, as well as host exhibitions and objects on loan from other places.
The Maclaurin Art Gallery is situated in old stable block and servants quarters that adjoin Rozelle House. The contemporary art gallery has a diverse calendar of exhibitions and related activities throughout the year.
Tea Room
Open seven days a week, the tearoom with patio dining is located in the lower ground of the house. It offers a delicious selection of home baking, breakfasts, lunches and hot and cold drinks – all available for sit-in or takeaway. Picnic bench areas are located to the rear of the house.
