The Museum of Travel is looking for a permanent home - we are open to ideas? If you think you can help please do get in touch. You can find a rough description of what we are looking for in our section “About - then Projects” - which is linked at the top right of the screen.

We are open to ideas - collaborations.

Ideal would be an island - like the inner or outer Hebrides - the Clyde Isles - Orkneys or Shetlands, or the Argyle and Bute peninsular - but it could be anywhere!

It could be a city or urban landscape, and it doesn’t have to be in the UK we would love to hear of ideas from Scandinavia, New Zealand or similar places.

We are self funding for content and running, but we need help to find the right premises or location. We have limited funds to support the purchase of property if it includes owners accommodation.

Longer term we would like to donate The Travel Museum and its contents and property to the community via an appropriate mechanism - so that the collection can be enjoyed and added to for generations to come.

We also want people to help create content - so if you have an adventure preferably with photos and video clip (max 60 seconds) send them to us and will put them on. We are particularly interested in items that have a history or story to tell, so if it helps tell the story we would be pleased to receive your travel memorabilia as well. Please let us know what name you want them under and you can use a pseudonym if you would like. Try and think of something fun!

It can be anything - a sport, a cultural experience or an expedition. Try to keep to our format and length, and we will reserve the right to edit.

We also want travel memorabilia- so if you have any you think we might like send a photo and we will say Yay or Nay! Please do not be offended if we say no and most items will be accepted.

You can also join us as a patron as a sponsorship of one of our room of treasure items. Makes an ideal present for the person in your life that already has it all!

As a patron you will be added to our hall of famers and received additional photos of your sponsored item plus an acknowledgment of your sponsorship for example.
