Temporary room closures

At the National Galleries of Scotland, we maintain ever-changing displays of artworks from your national collection. To do this, we occasionally need to close some gallery rooms so that we can refresh the artworks on display. This page gives you an overview of changes that are taking place over the coming weeks.
