University of Aberdeen Natural Philosophy Collection

Resulting from over 200 years of collecting, the Natural Philosophy Collection of Scientific Instruments is one of the most diverse collections in any British University. The earliest material dates from the mid-18th century and the collection ranges from the simplest demonstration pieces to those that were state-of-the-art research equipment.

Changing displays from the permanent collection can be seen in the Fraser Noble Building, Old Aberdeen. Enquiries are welcome please see our contact details.
