Aberdeen Maritime Museum
About Aberdeen Maritime Museum
At Aberdeen Maritime Museum your clients can discover the story of the city’s long and often dramatic relationship with the sea, through fascinating objects and artworks associated with shipbuilding, fishing, whaling, trading and offshore energy. Highlights include models of Aberdeen-built ships, from clippers to one of the first modern warships in the Japanese navy. Your clients can also take in the detail of the 9-metre scale model of the Murchison oil production platform - as close as many will ever get to an offshore oil rig.
The rich and varied collections are displayed over four floors in the modern museum building and in the historic 16th century Provost Ross’s House. The museum also offers fantastic views over Aberdeen Harbour.
