Myreton is home to a large and unique collection of cars, bicycles, commercials, period advertising, posters, enamel signs, pedal cars, petrol pumps and other related automobilia dating from 1899 to 1970s housed in a unique setting in the stunning East Lothian countryside.

All of the ground floor level of the museum is wheelchair accessible, however, a small proportion of exhibits are housed at an upstairs level (mostly the small automobilia and some of the toys etc).
​
Children are very welcome, however, no special facilities on site for them. However, exhibits include pedal cars, toy cars and prams etc. which children will like and all exhibits allow you to get really close so they can see inside. We also allow children to sit in a couple of the cars (with supervision) and there is a children's quiz.
