Explore the natural world, art and design, science and technology and Scottish history, all in one building at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.

Nominated for the Art Fund Prize for Museum of the Year 2012, the 36 galleries contain items from all over Scotland and beyond, including the taxidermy remains of Dolly the Sheep, Viking brooches, ancient chessmen and Queen Mary's clarsach. In 2011 a £47m renovation saw 8,000 additional objects go on display – none of which had been exhibited before. There are plans to add 10 further galleries, which are scheduled to open in 2016.
