Mr Arbuthnot's Cabinet of Curiosities

Mr Arbuthnot's Cabinet of Curiosities

Mr Arbuthnot was a wealthy merchant from Peterhead who amassed a vast collection of amazing artifacts. On his death in 1850 these were bequeathed to the community of Peterhead and formed the nucleus of the town's Arbuthnot Museuem.

The cabinet was created by youngsters from the Peterhead area and is a travelling museum filled with curious items  from the collection and creations inspired by them..
