royal scottish museum, a photo from Edinburgh, Scotland

Photographer's Note

The National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, Scotland, was formed in 2006 with the merger of the new Museum of Scotland, with collections relating to Scottish antiquities, culture and history, and the adjacent Royal Scottish Museum (so renamed in 1904), with collections covering science and technology, natural history, and world cultures. The two connected buildings stand beside each other on Chambers Street, by the intersection with the George IV Bridge, in central Edinburgh. The museum is part of National Museums Scotland. Admission is free.

The two buildings retain distinctive characters: the Museum of Scotland is housed in a modern building opened in 1998, while the former Royal Museum building was begun in 1861 and partially opened in 1866, with a Victorian Venetian Renaissance facade and a grand central hall of cast iron construction that rises the full height of the building. This building underwent a major refurbishment and reopened on 29 July 2011 after a three-year, £47 million project to restore and extend the building led by Gareth Hoskins Architects along with the concurrent redesign of the exhibitions by Ralph Appelbaum Associates.[1]

Hello Dale,
This is an impressive building, but in spite of being so large it has a clear charm because of its many fine 19th century details. The photo is well balanced and taken from a good angle with fine light management.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Dale,
A very nice impression of the central hall in the museum, which you show in a good vertical format. Good light management also and you placed that beautiful glass object very well in the foreground.

Hello Dale, Interesting interior of this Scottish Museum in Edinburgh. Ahm, You were there yesterday. In Poland, the museums are closed because of COVID. It also looks empty. Beautiful columns and glass roof.
I think I visited this museum.
Best regards Malgo

Hello Dale,

This is a very impressive building and I like how you have been able to show us its tiers and attractive, arched structure, as well as its size. Good idea to anchor the scene with the big 'lamp'.

It does look very empty!
It's like the streets and lanes about the village, hardly anyone to be seen.
Let's hope that with the new vaccines, things will return to normal soon!
Bev :-)

Hello Dale,
One of the most attractive museum building i ever saw, I visited many - and found this edifice superbly allocated spacey halls, inttriguing displays and interesting theme.
Nice taken from a higher floor level to the main hall.
Regards,
Ike
