(Note: the picture and description are of the museum as it was before its 2016–19 refurbishment.) The museum is named after the timber merchant James McLean (on whom, see Image). The ground floor has a great deal of material relating to local industries, such as shipbuilding (a number of engines are on display), rope-making, and sugar refining. See Image for the upper floor. There is also an exhibition space. The Art Gallery, which is in a different part of the building, owes much to the generosity of local shipbuilder Stuart Anderson Caird.
