Opened in Spring 2024. This former Edwardian concert hall, and now redeveloped museum, a partnership between Perth and Kinross Council and Culture Perth and Kinross, will provide an arts attraction for the city, highlighting the many objects and stories that put Perth and Kinross at the heart of Scotland’s history.
In December 2020, First Minister and Keeper of the Great Seal of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon, announced the Stone of Destiny, one of Scotland’s most iconic, mythic objects, to become the centrepiece of the museum.
The ancient symbol was seized by King Edward I in the late 13th Century, remaining in England for 700 years before it was returned to Scotland in 1996.
We created two immersive films; one for the antechamber which describes the history, origin myths and significance that surround the Stone of Destiny, and one for ‘The Stone Room’ – where the Stone itself sits, an atmospheric original animation depicting the coronation of King Alexander III of Scotland in 1249 at Scone.
