Plans submitted for new Museum of Aberdeenshire and Peterhead Library development

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

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 being supported with £20million from the UK Government alongside the renovation and extension of Macduff Marine Aquarium.

The new museum will provide many opportunities for local communities to learn about the heritage of their area as well as providing visitors with the full breadth and richness of the region’s stories and past.
