The “Cultural Tides: North Sea Connections in Aberdeenshire” project will focus on the development of a cultural quarter in Peterhead, centred around the vacant Arbuthnot House.
A new museum for Aberdeenshire will be created. It will showcase the inspiring individuals, sensational stories and amazing artefacts that make the north-east unique.
Other council museum venues will continue to operate at Banchory and at Aberdeenshire Farming Museum, but this will be a new and more versatile venue.
Purpose built galleries with carefully controlled light levels and security will allow hundreds more objects to be publicly displayed, supported by music, interactives, Doric and film. The museums’ team will be able to change many of these displays and will work with community groups to co-curate displays and exhibitions.
A dedicated temporary exhibitions gallery will accommodate touring exhibitions from far and wide and will also act as a functions space for individual and corporate events.
This survey has now closed. We will share a summary of the feedback on the Peterhead 2040 hub.
