Aberdeen Archives, Gallery & Museums
AAGM is part of Aberdeen City Council. The city’s collection is recognised as being of National Significance. It has grown over centuries, and has been shared with the public since 1885, first through Aberdeen Art Gallery, then the wider service at Aberdeen City & Aberdeenshire Archives, Maritime Museum, Treasure Hub, Provost Skene’s House and Tolbooth Museum.
Our purpose is to share the city’s collection in engaging ways. Our vision is to be a place for people to explore Aberdeen’s identity and culture, and its connections to the world – making Aberdeen a healthy, safe and prosperous city. We want to collect contemporary art and craft, objects with meaning and connection, and new and old stories about the city to reflect our city’s culture in its many forms – creating a record of our city and its place in the world for future generations. We want to open the doors to curiosity, enquiry and discovery, and look after the wonderful cultural collection and historic buildings we have been entrusted with.
