Our collections are very charming. Literally 🔮 These objects show how charms were used in rural Scotland. They were often sought to protect livestock against illness, or evil spirits. They're on display in the National Museum of Rural Life - which contains centuries worth of stories about Scottish rural history, and absolutely no evil spirits. If you're very lucky, you might get to meet a black cat or two up at the farm during your visit 🐈‍⬛ | National Museums Scotland

This sculpture uses the complete skeleton of a 5m pilot whale. The whale was beached on the Northumberland coast in 1997. In 2001, its bones were made into a sculpture by sculptor and photographer Andy Goldsworthy. Stacked Whales sits in our Early People Gallery alongside objects from around 8000 BC to AD 1100. Many of Goldsworthy’s works are made from the same natural materials as these objects, making them a natural fit for Level -1 🦴 Head down and see Stacked Whalebones, and a window into pr

We have some exciting news. And it's SHINY. ✨ A year ago we acquired a rare Bronze -Age Hoard discovered in the south of Scotland. AKA: the Peebles Hoard. Our conservation team has been painstakingly removing thousands of years of dirt from the surface of some of these bronze objects. And they have uncovered something quite unexpected. It’s SILVERY. It's not ACTUALLY silver - analysis tells us that the colour comes from tin. And this is rather remarkable, because it means that people were delibe

This 3000-year-old hat is: 🐴 Scotland’s oldest recognisable garment 🐴 skillfully made from horse tail hair and plant fibres 🐴 the only example of wrapped twining from prehistoric Britain. Everything a stylish Late Bronze Age wearer could want in a hat, really. It was found deep in a peat bog near Kirtomy, Sutherland in 1953. The hat is made of ‘cords’ consisting of bundles of hair from a horse’s tail, each cord knotted at one end and bound by a single strand passing round the bundle in a spir

It’s not every day that you stumble upon a beautiful 450 year old locket undergoing careful conservation when you’re at work 💎 But it does occasionally happen when you work at National Museums Scotland. You might have noticed that this locket is very similar to another equally beautiful, enameled locket in our collection: The Penicuik locket, said to have been owned by Mary, Queen of Scots. The painted miniatures on both lockets are said to be Mary and her son James. The Penicuik locket was pro

We’ve just uncovered yet another secret from the Galloway Hoard 🤯 And this one might tell us who once owned the Viking-Age treasure. Researchers’ most recent revelation decodes the inscription on this silver arm ring. The Old English runes inside read: DIS IS ЇIGNA ˑFˑ with one proposed translation as ‘this is the community’s wealth’. Fresh off this discovery, the Galloway Hoard will be on display across the world at the South Australian Museum from Sat 8 Feb 🌏 Wherever you are, discover the l

In 2014, a metal detectorist in Dumfries and Galloway made a remarkable discovery. Buried in the ground, hidden for more than a thousand years, was a wealth of silver and gold riches, jewellery and treasure. It’s known today as the Galloway Hoard, and nothing like it has ever been found in Britain before. Now we need to save the Hoard for the nation, and to do that we need your help. To keep the Hoard together and preserve it for future generations, we need to raise £1.98 million – and we only h

Our advice for the Grand Gallery? Look down 👀 The glass roof may be a Victorian showstopper, but the floor of the Grand Gallery contains beauty millions of years in the making. The stone used for the floor of the Grand Gallery is made up of fossils. Look closely on the ground, and you can see ammonite fossils, belemnites, and sea sponges. Once you've spotted one, you’ll spot many. They're ⭐ everywhere ⭐ | National Museums Scotland
