Rationalisation Project

In 2024 we began a review of over 1,000 applied art and social history objects. Reviews help us improve our understanding of objects that have not been researched for a long time. From hidden gems to objects with historic damage, this selection highlights a variety of objects we have assessed with a critical eye during the project.

This project was made possible thanks to funding from Museums Galleries Scotland.

If you have any information to share about these objects or any thoughts about whether they ‘fit’ in Aberdeen’s collection? Let us know by submitting your views at https://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/AAGM/about-us/contact-us
