About Robert Louis Stevenson Museum

The Robert Louis Stevenson Museum in St. Helena houses the world's largest collection of Stevenson artifacts on public display. Visitors explore exhibits featuring personal possessions and materials from the Scottish author's life and literary career. The museum offers guided tours that allow guests to engage directly with the collection, which includes items spanning more than a century old that visitors observe without touching. The facility is wheelchair accessible and located next door to the St. Helena Public Library. General admission is free, though donations support the museum's operations. The museum opens Tuesday through Saturday, with hours published on the venue's website. Visitors can also follow in Stevenson's footsteps across Napa Valley, visiting sites connected to his 1880 honeymoon stay, including locations featured in his travelogue The Silverado Squatters. Researchers interested in deeper study of Stevenson's work can access archival resources at the museum.
