What To Expect

Visit one of the country's most popular museums with your own in-app audio tour! With this tour, you will not get lost in the endless labyrinth, as it will guide you to the museum's greatest highlights.
The tour starts in the Grand Gallery where you will explore the Natural World, World Cultures and Scottish History, and Archeology galleries. One of the highlights is the legendary Dolly the Sheep and learn that she wasn't the first-ever cloned mammal!
Admire the wildlife diversity and see any animal you can think of: from the prehistoric T. Rex to the unique Scottish wildcat.
Visiting the World Cultures galleries is the same as a round-the-world tour. You will see African masks, touch materials protecting people from Arctic colds, and learn about the life on the islands lost in the Pacific.
The Scottish galleries will reveal the history of Scotland from ancient times till the present day. Look at the legacy of Mary Queen of Scots and see the iconic Lewis chessmen that inspired the 'wizard chess' in Harry Potter movies. Finally, try to resolve the mystery of Arthur's Seat coffins that has never been solved.
