The publishing house of the National Galleries of Scotland publishes a wide range of high-quality titles on the visual arts, combining rigorous research, lavish illustration and engaging writing.
As well as publishing books that provide access to Scotland’s national collection and exhibition books that accompany a range of exhibitions, we publish a number of titles on different aspects of art.
Our art books are designed to delight those who are unable to come to the Galleries in person and to enhance and provide deeper information for those who are able to visit.
There is something for everyone, including those seeking a deeper understanding of art history. Whatever the topic, all of our books are underpinned by careful and scholarly research.
