Aberdeen Maritime Museum

Close to the busy harbour, Aberdeen Maritime Museum tells 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. Take in the detail of the 9-metre scale model of the Murchison platform – as close as any of us will ever get to an offshore installation.
