We welcome visitors online and in person to our three principal sites in Edinburgh: the Scottish National Gallery, the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. We reach out into communities to explore art and discover what it can mean to us all. Our vision? To deliver Art for Scotland: Inspiration for the World.

We are one of Scotland’s leading cultural institutions, with a high profile and partnerships nationally and internationally.
