Two of its collections are recognised by Museums Galleries Scotland as collections of national significance. The archaeology collection is council-owned and held across five sites, four of the council's own museums together with the independent Whithorn Trust. The Kirkcudbright artists collection is held solely at Kirkcudbright Galleries. The service runs a year-round exhibition and events programme across its venues.
