National Galleries of Scotland is a public art institution based in Edinburgh, operating three galleries—the National, Modern, and Portrait. It safeguards and presents Scotland’s world-class art collection, ranging from Renaissance works by Botticelli and Titian to modern and contemporary pieces, including portraits connected to pop culture and a strong emphasis on Scottish art. The organization aims to provide an accessible cultural experience, offering free events and various ways to engage with art beyond traditional viewing. Its audience includes the general public, families, and students who seek broad access to Scotland’s national collection and related programming. In 2026 the institution announced a major expansion with The Art Works, a free-to-visit gallery planned for north Edinburgh, signaling an effort to broaden access to the collection.
