Explore our places, collections and stories
Our research not only sheds new light on our collections but also increases our understanding of the world, and is shared with a wide audience through exhibitions, publications and our learning programme. Loans of objects to local and international venues mean more people than ever can enjoy our treasures. We also offer free advice, training and support through our knowledge exchange programme, and by administering the National Fund for Acquisitions we help museums across Scotland enhance their collections.
After nearly five months of closure, we’re almost ready to welcome visitors back to our museums. We've made some changes to make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable visit, including online booking and new safety measures.
