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 at the new galleries and
exhibits.
