National Gallery of ScotlandThe National Gallery of Scotland is situated in the heart of
Edinburgh and is home to Scotland's greatest collection of European
paintings and sculpture from the Renaissance to Post-Impressionism.
The museum opened to the public in 1859 and includes works by
Botticelli, Cézanne, Van Dyck, Pisarro, Monet, Raphael, Rembrandt,
and Titian. The Gallery also boasts the most comprehensive
collection of Scottish painting in the world. The Scottish Portrait
Gallery can be found nearby at 1 Queen Street and includes great
paintings of Scots rather than by Scots. The National Portrait
Gallery is closed for renovations however, and will re-open in late
2011.
