When visiting Scotland many tourists make the mistake of staying around the bigger cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. For all the merits of these two cities, deciding not to make the trip north to Aberdeen would be a grave mistake. Scotland 's third city has a wealthy cultural heritage, something that its authorities continually strive to improve further. Just a few days spent wandering its many museums and galleries will provide rich entertainment for visitors old and young.
The Marischal Museum is one such place. This museum holds the principle collections of the University of Aberdeen , which include fine art and the history and archaeology of Scotland . It also includes a wide variety of international exhibits from European and Near Eastern archaeology. All in all there are over 80,000 items amongst its permanent displays and regular temporary exhibitions.
If you are a fan of the sea then the Aberdeen Maritime Museum is definitely one to check out, which explains and explores the city's close links with the sea, from ship building for the early British navy to modern day exploration of North Sea gas reserves.
A traditional art gallery can be found at the Aberdeen Art Gallery , which hosts a range of impressionist and Victorian paintings along with other works from Scotland and England , as well as collections of glass and silver. The museums, along with the varied and innovative performing arts scene, mean that whatever your preference, art lovers will find plenty to sate their appetites in Aberdeen .
