Marischal Museum

Marischal Museum

The Marischal Museum is the main museum in the city centre of Aberdeen, Scotland. It was established in 1786 and is situated in the architecturally notable Marischal College building, part of the University of Aberdeen.

The museum most notably houses examples of Egyptian and Classical antiquities, non-Western ethnography and pieces relating to Scottish prehistory and numismatics.

From July 2008, the museum has been closed to the general public due to the ongoing renovation work at Marischal College. In April 2011, The University of Aberdeen opened King's Museum. Situated at 17 High St., Old Aberdeen, King's Museum hosts a calendar of changing exhibitions, drawing on objects from the University's stored collections.
