Description

Next door to the Royal Museum, the stunning new Museum of Scotland (opened 1998) details the history of the Scottish people. From the beginning of time through present day, the history of Scotland is explained through galleries and displays in a wonderful, informative exhibition. Wander through the halls and wonder at the fossils, the ancient jewelry and artifacts. Travel back in time to the industrial revolution and the Scottish position in the British Empire. Marvel at the technological advances that have taken Scotland to modernity.

Enjoyable
By TONY, 2/5/06
From the outside this building doesn't look very special, go in and you can have hours of fun. Children of all ages would enjoy this place, so much to see. Worth going back to.

Well worth a visit
By RONALD, 6/8/06
Try to visit to this museum on your Edinburgh trip. If you can, join one of the guided tours. My guide was well informed and went out of her way to make this an enjoyable and interesting visit. There enough here to fill half a day or more.

One of the best museums of its type in the world
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/5/09
It is presented in a logical pattern that allows visitors to "walk through time". I only had a half day there and I am planning a return trip with more time allocated to the Museum.
