Our impact
International work
Beyond Scotland, international collaborations allow us to share knowledge, learn from others and make our treasures available to the widest possible audience.
High profile loans and touring exhibitions put Scotland’s National Collection on a world stage, sharing it with new audiences in other countries. And research collaborations with partners around the world help us to build stronger connections, learn from different perspectives and exchange stories globally.
Touring exhibitions
Our touring exhibitions offer our internationally important collection and diverse research to a broader range of audiences.
Loans
We welcome loan requests, and are committed to providing the best possible physical and intellectual access to all our collections.
