We have over 12 million objects, covering a range of topics and four museums: National Museum of Scotland (Edinburgh), National War Museum (Edinburgh), National Museum of Flight (East Lothian) and National Museum of Rural Life (East Kilbride).
We continue to support your teaching and learning by offering different ways for your classes to connect with us virtually.
Online resources
Suitable for pupils to do at home or in school, our activities include Broad General Education and Senior Phase content and cover topics within Social Studies, Languages and STEM.
Digital Schools Sessions
Bring the museums to your class with our online sessions.
Visiting our museums
At present we are not able to take school bookings for visits to our museums. We are working towards being able to deliver in-person school visits to our sites in the 2021-22 school term.
For priority access to our Digital Schools Sessions and the latest information on school visits, subscribe to our teachers’ newsletter.
