Plans submitted for new multi-million pound Aberdeenshire museum

Plans have been submitted for the new multi-million-pound Museum of Aberdeenshire and library in Peterhead.






Plans have been submitted for the new multi-million-pound Museum of Aberdeenshire and library in Peterhead.

The project will see the listed Arbuthnot House at the lower end of Broad Street sensitively restored and extended to house both the town’s library and a new museum showcasing Aberdeenshire’s extensive heritage collections and artwork.

It forms part of the ambitious Cultural Tides: North Sea Connections in Aberdeenshire bid, supported by £20m from the UK Government alongside the renovation and extension of Macduff Marine Aquarium.

The new museum is being designed to accommodate permanent museum galleries as well as temporary and national touring exhibitions.
