National Galleries Scotland: National
With a National Art Pass you get
The Scottish National Gallery is home to the largest part of Scotland's collection of fine art and one of the best in the world.
It encompasses the full range of Western art and sculpture from the Renaissance to the present day, with particularly impressive collections of Old Masters.
The Playfair Project, completed in 2004, involved the building of the Weston Link, an underground complex linking the National Gallery of Scotland and the Royal Scottish Academy, two of 19th-century architect Henry Playfair's finest neoclassical designs. The link houses shops, restaurants, a lecture theatre and education area, and an interactive, touch-screen IT Gallery showing the collections of the National Galleries.
