"Enter through the quad and into the door in the tower. Ascend to first floor. Marischal College was founded in 1593. The museum and Picture Gallery are located within the eastern range of the Tudor-style quadrangle that Archibald Simpson designed to replace the dilapidated original college buildings. Later in 19C Marischal College and King's College were amalgamated as the University of Aberdeen. The Mitchell Hall, the magnificent setting for University ceremonial, was added by A Marshall Mackenzie who also extended the quad, the familiar Broad Street frontage being built in 1901. "
