Explorer finds once-loved museum destroyed by vandals after it was abandoned | UK News [Video]

An urban explorer has managed to venture inside an abandoned museum, only to see it has been ‘destroyed by vandals’.

Natasha McCallum shared footage of the derelict Archaeolink museum in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Situated in Oyne, Archaeolink Prehistory Park first opened its doors in 1997 and it closed in 2011 as a result of Aberdeenshire Council withdrawing funding.

The failed tourist attraction was dedicated to the ancient inhabitants and culture of the north east.

But Natasha’s recent visit showed it to be vandalised as it lay untouched for nearly 15 years.

She said: ‘It was said to be a great fun day out for everyone involved. To see it in the state it is now is heart breaking. The vandals have been in and have destroyed it.

‘Seeing the remains of the little exhibits and stations where the kids would work made me sad, especially seeing them vandalised and smashed up.
