Go behind the scenes on a BSL-interpreted tour of our state-of-the-art collections and research centre in Granton, Edinburgh.
Discover the secrets of how we store our Natural Sciences, Science & Technology and Scottish History & Archaeology collections, and find out how these objects and specimens are used in international research.
This is an in-person event at the National Museums Collection Centre, for those aged 14 and over. Advance booking is essential. This tour is particularly aimed at BSL users, although we welcome all members of the D/deaf community and their families and friends.
