National Museums Collection Centre

The National Museums Collection Centre in Granton, Edinburgh is a specialist facility where we care for and research our collections. From whale skeletons and insects to motorbikes and high fashion, it holds over 12 million objects and specimens. The Collection Centre is a hub for innovation, training and teaching, as well as the preparation of collections for exhibition, loan, and tour. The work we carry out and facilitate there includes research, scientific analysis, conservation, and digitisation.
