Art for everyone

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. Soak up the art. Meet friends in the cafés. Have a family picnic surrounded by the sculptures in the Modern grounds. Be inspired by our amazing art films. Enjoy a free event. Choose your own experience. There is no one way to enjoy Scotland’s national collection. We are yours to discover.
