National Museums Collection Centre online: information and bookings

From Moby the whale to dinosaur bones, from motorbikes to traction engines – the material gathered here is as diverse as it is vast. Where else could we keep our collection of 1.2 million insects? The National Museums Collection Centre at Granton provides a home for many of the objects and specimens that are not currently on display in our museums. In fact, our collections are so extensive, only a small proportion can ever be shownat once but the stored material is kept so that exhibitions can be refreshed and subjects can be studied in depth.

In case of alteration, please check prices, opening times and any specific important information before booking or visiting
