National Museum of Scotland (NMS)
After being housed (rather awkwardly) in several locations during the 1990s, the long-established Royal Scottish Museum and the National Museum of Antiquities were united in a single headquarters early in 1998. Their newest incarnation, the National Museum of Scotland, occupies an 1861 building near the Royal Mile that has been radically upgraded and enlarged with a postmodern wing. Displays include Scotland's most impressive collection of decorative arts, ethnography, natural history, geology, archaeology, technology, and science.
