 Aberdeen has long prospered off of sea-based industries, from the boom of the city's fishing industry in the early 20th century to its oil industry today; this museum explores the historic developments behind the city's maritime industries.

Situated on the historic Shiprow and incorporating Provost Ross's House - built in 1593 - Aberdeen Maritime Museum tells the story of the city's long relationship with the Sea. This award-winning museum houses a unique collection covering shipbuilding, fast sailing ships, fishing and port history, and is the only place in the UK where you can see displays on the North Sea oil industry. Aberdeen Maritime Museum also offers a spectacular viewpoint over the busy harbour.

Aberdeen Maritime Museum is fully accessible to visitors with disabilities, and an induction loop system is available in the auditorium.

The Carby Art Gallery

Since May 2003, art lovers have been making their way to Iain Carby's unique gallery which offers a rich variety of sculpture, ceramics, jewellery and photography by local as well as internationally acclaimed artists. This expansive art space comprises a number of rooms, all with their own identity. It is also Iain's studio and patrons are invited to watch the artist at work

Inspired by Catalonian Surrealist Miro, Iain’s distinctive style reflects his lust for life and passion for warmer climates. His oil paintings focus on vibrant panoramics and shoreline scenes and although surrealist in its foundation, his work remains rooted in the landscape with brilliant azure skies and sizzling patchwork fields.

Open every day from 10.00 am until 5.00 pm.

Address: 50 Cotton Street, Aberdeen, AB11 5EE

We look forward to more fascinating events in the future.
