About us
National Museums Scotland is a unique combination of world-class collections, programmes, places and people.
Our multi-disciplinary collection is an important resource, which we seek to share as widely as possible through our mission to preserve, interpret and make accessible for all, the past and present of Scotland, other nations and cultures, and the natural world.
We are a Scottish Charity and a Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB) supported through Grant-in-Aid from the Scottish Government and governed by an independent Board of Trustees.

NMS Enterprises was established in 2002 to facilitate the commercial activities of National Museums Scotland.
