National Museum of Scotland

What in the world is that?

All our collections have tales to tell. See treasures from the edges of history and trace Scotland's story from fascinating fossils to popular culture. For generations we've collected key exhibits from all over Scotland and beyond.

Our exciting Royal Museum Project is now underway with around half of the museum complex currently closed, including the Victorian main hall. Find out more about our plans to transform the site into a world-class venue, re-opening in 2011.
