National Galleries of Scotland
We are the National Galleries for Scotland, and our three Edinburgh galleries are the National, Modern and Portrait. We house and care for Scotland’s amazing world-class art collection. Step inside and explore treasures from Botticelli and Titian to the very best modern art and contemporary portraits of pop culture icons. And, as you would expect, the world’s greatest collection of Scottish art. We are a space for thinking, dreaming, doing, and playing.
