Marischal Museum, Anthropology museum in Aberdeen, Scotland.

The Marischal Museum displays collections of Egyptian antiquities, Classical artifacts, and Scottish prehistory objects within a grand neo-gothic granite building.

Founded in 1786, the museum remained active for over two centuries until its closure in 2008 due to renovation works at Marischal College.

The collections, recognized as nationally significant by the Scottish Government, include extensive exhibits of non-Western ethnography and Scottish numismatic pieces.

While the museum building remains closed, the collections can now be viewed at King's Museum in the Old Aberdeen Town House.

The museum building serves as a conservation laboratory and research center, supporting the University of Aberdeen's other museum facilities.
