We have been working on the design and delivery of three new galleries that will complete the transformation of the National Museum of Scotland. These galleries, dedicated to ‘Ancient Egypt Rediscovered’, ‘Exploring East Asia’ and the ‘Art of Ceramics’, are the final part a 15-year journey, restoring one of the UK’s finest Victorian buildings, revealing remarkable treasures, and creating inspiring learning experiences to engage more visitors. The object installation is now complete with the new galleries due to open to the public on 8 February 2019.
