Chairs, settles and presses

This collection is located at Shetland Museum, Croft Museum and Böd of Gremista Museum and is of national importance. Telephone number (01595) 695 057 Shetland Museum collections relate to all aspects of the islands’ history. We collect objects relevant to the islands only. These are usually things used here, often made here too. Other things belonged to Shetlanders, or to emigrants from the islands who lived elsewhere. Some objects are unique to Shetland. Other things are mass-produced that you’d see anywhere else, but are important to us because of the specifically Shetland tale they have to tell.
