Archibald Simpson supplied the plans for the huge four-winged edifice but the Neo-gothic west front was designed by A. Marshall MacKenzie and was built between 1890 and 1906. The Marischal Museum in the college possesses a superb anthropological collection, including exhibits from Egypt, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, Hawaii and Tibet. However, the main emphasis in the museum is on the northeast of Scotland.
