The Stirling Smith is the home of a significant collection of rare and unique artefacts, spanning centuries of Scottish, British and World history. The collection is managed by the Smith's three full-time curatorial staff, and contains many remarkable objects, including a great many items of interest from the worlds of social history, ethnography, women's history, natural history, and fine art. The Smith holds one of the most important collections in Scotland, and the exhibits which are on display are visited by guests from all over the world. We have a permanent exhibition on the premises, The Stirling Story, which recounts the history of the city of Stirling from its earliest origins through to present day. The Stirling Story has many important objects from Stirling's past and present in the displays, and additions are made on a regular basis. Here can be discovered the works of Christian Maclagan, Britain's first female archaeologist, the striking artwork of Joseph Denovan Adam, artefacts from the Stirling Guildry and Seven Incorporated Trades of Stirling, marble busts of local people, and a great many more items, both unique and ordinary.
