First opened in 1891, the Baird Institute is now Cumnocks 4-star museum and art gallery featuring temporary and permanent museum and art displays.The Keir Hardie Room presents the life and career of the founder of the Labour Party, who spent his adult life in Cumnock. We have an interactive audio-visual screen and a large collection of his personal belongings and souvenirs of his travels.The Cumnock Room is dedicated to several aspects of the towns history, including the religious struggles of the 17th century.
