Perth Museum

Perth Museum is a museum which opened on 30 March 2024. The museum is housed within Perth City Hall and aims showcase the city’s important collections to tell the tale of Scotland through the prism of Perth, the former capital of Scotland.

The centrepiece of the museum is the Stone of Destiny.

History
In January 2019 BAM Construction began work on a £30 million programme of works to convert the Perth City Hall into a new heritage and arts attraction based on a design by Mecanoo. The new attraction would incorporate displays on the Stone of Destiny and the Kingdom of Alba.

In December 2020, the Scottish Government announced that the Stone of Destiny would be relocated to the museum by 2024.

A competition to name the building's forthcoming museum section was launched in March 2022, with the winning name being "Perth Museum", with 60% of the votes.
