National Museum of Scotland
We would love to hear about your recent experience. Please share any pictures and review of the place you visited. We greatly appreciate your feedback!
The National Museum of Scotland, located in the heart of Edinburgh, is a stunning architectural marvel that houses a vast collection of artifacts showcasing Scotland’s rich history and culture. The museum is a fusion of the old and the new, with the Victorian-era Royal Museum building and the modern Museum of Scotland building standing side by side, offering a unique blend of natural history, art, design, science, and technology exhibits.
Visitors to the museum can explore the diverse stories of Scotland and its people, from prehistoric times to the present day. One of the main highlights is the Grand Gallery, a breathtaking space filled with a variety of objects from around the world. Another must-see is the Dolly the Sheep exhibit, the first cloned mammal ever to be created from an adult cell, symbolizing a significant breakthrough in science.
Plan your visit
- Plan your visit in advance: National Museum of Scotland has an extensive collection, so do some research to know what collections you would like to explore before visiting the museum.
- Be respectful of other visitors: remember that the museum is a place for education and learning and should be respected as such. Please stay quiet, avoid touching the objects on display and keep group sizes to a minimum for everyone’s safety and enjoyment.
- Wear comfortable shoes: as there is plenty to see in the museum, it’s important that you have good footwear so that you can enjoy your visit without discomfort or pain!
- Take advantage of free guided tours: The museum often offers free guided tours led by knowledgeable volunteers who will help you interpret the exhibitions more easily and quickly than if exploring alone.
