Enrich your classroom teaching with the help of our incredible collections and engaging programmes. We have four museums you can book to visit free of charge: National Museum of Scotland (Edinburgh), National War Museum (Edinburgh), National Museum of Flight (East Lothian) and National Museum of Rural Life (East Kilbride).
In response to the impact of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) we have made the decision to close all our museums to the public from Tuesday 17 March at 5pm until further notice. We are therefore not taking bookings at present. For our latest information, please visit this page.
