Other Collections

The main storage building at the National Museums Collection Centre, at Granton in Edinburgh, opened in 1996. It is not currently open to the public because a new reception and conservation building is under construction. A new storage building is planned to house the textile and costume collections in one location. This will include the recently acquired Jean Muir Collection of 20th century costume and accessories.

The Museum of Piping is located in the National Piping Centre in Glasgow, and displays the piping collections of National Museums Scotland.

Famous quotes containing the word collections:

    Most of those who make collections of verse or epigram are like men eating cherries or oysters: they choose out the best at first, and end by eating all.
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
