Dinner at National Museum of Scotland

National Museum of Scotland

The National Museum of Scotland has several rooms and galleries available, to suit all occasions from weddings to conferences.

The fantastic Victorian part of the National Museum of Scotland is now open and available for events from September 2011, following a £47m transformation project. The prestigious Grand Gallery will be able to accommodate up to 950 people for dinner in stunning surroundings. Along with 16 new galleries and a new entrance on street level,  the changes will create a unique event space to rival all others. There will also be a 200 seat Auditorium with break out rooms available for a range of events both day and evening.
