The name for the new museum being built as part of the £26.5 million Perth City Hall revamp has been unveiled as...Perth Museum.

It might seem like an obvious choice but the decision was made after more than 450 people took part in a consultation.More than 60 per cent of respondents voted for the name to “encapsulate the stories and the history of the building”.Construction work began on the new museum in 2021 and is expected to open in 2024, becoming the new home of the Stone of Destiny.

The new art facility will tell the story of Perth and Kinross’ ancient roots through social and natural history with the iconic relic, also known as the Stone of Scone, as the centrepiece.

Alongside this change, the existing Perth Museum and Art Gallery on George Street will be rebranded as Perth Art Gallery, with the social and natural history collections currently on display there to be moved to the city hall building in the next couple of years.
