Aberdeenshire Heritage Mintlaw

Aberdeenshire Museum Service HQ (AMS) is the first publicly accessible store for the county’s museum service, and was built with a substantial grant from Heritage Lottery Fund. It is a purpose-built museum storage facility and visitor centre, as well as housing the service’s technical workshops. This state of the art facility includes 810 square metres of environmentally controlled storage space, housing collections ranging from fine art to botanical specimens.

The work of gathering and documenting thousands of objects that exist across Aberdeenshire is expected to take several years and will ultimately result in a computer catalogue of the entire collection. This catalogue will eventually be accessible to the public via the Aberdeenshire Council website.
