Aberdeen - Provost Skene's House is a house in Aberdeen, built in 1545 and now housing a museum. It is named after Provost Skene, who bought it in 1669 and is thought to have commissioned its 17th century plaster ceilings.

In 2021, Provost Skene's House was reopened to the public after renovations were completed. It now houses displays on singers, writers, doctors, business owners and other prominent figures who were born, lived or worked in Aberdeen.
From this museum, I learned that Aberdeen is a global brand. From its position high on the east coast of Scotland, Aberdeen has exerted its influence right around the planet. They have a long and proud tradition of invention and discovery – from subsea technology and the discovery of insulin, to treatments for Cystic Fibrosis and even the first MRI scanner – demonstrates a fundamental element of our region’s DNA, to blaze new trails and shape the future for all of humankind.

One of the interesting thing here is the 17th Century Painted Ceiling.
The painted ceiling and walls in this room date back to 1626, but it is unknown who painted it. The paintings – which depict various moments throughout the life of Christ – are a rare survival as they were only discovered in 1950s, having been boarded over for more than 300 years.
Outside the Provost Skeen House, has a small beautiful garden.
