National Gallery

The National Galleries of Scotland is a group of art museums in Edinburgh. It includes the National Gallery, the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, and two Modern Art galleries. These museums live in beautiful buildings and show a wide mix of art—from historic pictures and portraits to new and modern works. Together, they create a friendly place where everyone can learn about art and enjoy their own journey of discovery.

At the heart of the galleries, you can walk through halls full of famous paintings and sculptures, visit lively exhibitions, and join events that help bring the art alive. Admission is free, so it’s easy for anyone—families, students, visitors—to explore. Whether you're here to see classic art or modern pieces, the National Galleries offer a place to feel inspired and connected with creativity.
