Beyond Scotland, international collaborations allow us to share knowledge, learn from others and make our treasures available to the widest possible audience.

High profile loans and touring exhibitions put Scotland’s National Collection on a world stage, sharing it with new audiences in other countries. And research collaborations with partners around the world help us to build stronger connections, learn from different perspectives and exchange stories globally.

    Our touring exhibitions offer our internationally important collection and diverse research to a broader range of audiences.
