Life Everlasting

Shopping at our museums

Each of the museums has a shop reflecting its collections and including specially commissioned replicas of items on display.

Each shop has a selection of gifts from pocket money toys to hand-crafted scarves, glass and designer jewellery. A complementary range of books for both adults and children completes a unique shopping experience.

Museum shops

The museum shop at the National Museum of Scotland is next to the Tower entrance. The shop has a wide range of quality products, many of them commissioned and exclusive to the museum. For example a quaich, a quintessential Scottish welcoming cup, has inspired a range of products. Crafted in pewter, it remains true to the original and would make a highly desirable gift that would be treasured for years to come.

Other museum shops are to be found at the National Museum of Flight in East Lothian, the National War Museum at Edinburgh Castle, the National Museum of Rural Life at East Kilbride and the National Museum of Costume at Shambellie House, New Abbey.

The museum shops are open to non-museum visitors.
