Our Museum is changing!
Part of the National Museum of Scotland has now closed its doors
for a major redevelopment. The three-year, £46m Royal Museum
Project will transform the site into a 21st century museum
experience, due to reopen in 2011. Here we'll take you behind the
closed doors of the Museum, keep you up-to-date with progress and
show you a glimpse of the new galleries and exhibits.
