As Scotland’s national museum service we engage across the nation and around the world, ensuring our collections, expertise and programmes make wide-reaching impacts beyond the walls of our museums.

Our work across Scotland delivers many outcomes: engagement with local communities, direct support for our sector, contributions to national economic and social prosperity, and enjoyable, and enriching opportunities for all. Our Across Scotland: National Strategy 2016-2020 highlights the aspirations and priorities for this work. Beyond Scotland, international collaborations allow us to share knowledge, learn from others and make our treasures available to the widest possible audience.
