As you enter the museum, you’ll be greeted by the impressive Grand Gallery, which is home to some of the museum’s most iconic objects, including a T-Rex skeleton and a 12-foot tall statue of Dolly the Sheep. From there, you can explore the museum’s many galleries, each with its own unique theme and collection of artefacts. Whether you’re interested in Scottish history, art, science, or technology, there’s something for everyone at the National Museum of Scotland.

The National Museum of Scotland is located on Chambers Street in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town.
