The collections of the National Museum of Scotland cover life, the universe and everything in it. From science and art to nature and outer space. What influence has the rest of the world had on Scotland and Scotland on it? How has the face of the nation changed over the centuries? Answers to all the big questions (and some tricky littles one) can be found at the National Museum of Scotland.
Communicate! is an exciting gallery within the National Museum of Scotland. The gallery combines stunning displays with interactive exhibits.
