This award-winning museum is located close to the busy harbour, on the historic Shiprow and incorporates Provost Ross's House, which was built in 1593.

Outside the museum, stop to admire the Aberdeen Fishing Memorial. Made by sculptor David Williams-Ellis and unveiled in 2018, the bronze figures commemorate the major contribution fishing and fishing folk have made to the city.
