Clydebank Museum opened in 1980 in Clydebank Town Hall. It was originally operated by volunteers drawn from the local communities that had lobbied for its creation. In August 2025 the new Clydebank Museum and Local History & Archives opened in the basement of Clydebank Library and the building will now be known as Clydebank Town Hall and Galleries.
