In the words of the Centre's website: "This award winning visitor centre [sic] tells the story of the connections between Robert Burns and the town of Dumfries. The well-researched exhibition is illuminated by many original documents and relics of the poet." That's all accurate, although I'm not sure what the awards are. The museum is more in-depth than the Burns House, but then again, the two establishments are apples and oranges. Basically, this Centre tells the story of Burns' relationship with Dumfries, and shows you a few cool artifacts along the way, such as Burns' sword, which he was entitled to wear as a member of the Royal Dumfries Volunteers. Admission is free, so this is definitely worth thirty minutes or so to hear the story of Dumfries' most famous resident. There is an audiovisual presentation for a nominal fee, but I skipped it. read more
