Learning Centre

The new Learning Centre is a key feature of the National Museum of Scotland, extending up four floors on the south side of the museum. 

With its new spaces and facilities, the Learning Centre is a focus for a wide range of activities, workshops, talks and events at the museum. Spaces include:

  • a 200-seat auditorium
  • three learning studios
  • break-out spaces. 

It is fully accessible from the galleries as well as by lift and stairs.

How to find the Learning Centre

To find the the Learning Centre Seminar Rooms, make your way to the green cast iron fountain in the centre of the Grand Gallery. From here go through the large archway to the Millennium Clock.

From here you can either take the escalator to the third floor, walk past the shop to the right and take the stairs up to the fourth floor, then turn right and follow signs to the Seminar Rooms.

If you prefer to use the lift, go beyond the Millennium Clock through the Discoveries gallery and bear right, making your way to the stairwell in the corner. Take the lift to Level 4 and follow signs to the Seminar Rooms.
