Registered Charity No. SC006964 (Scotland).
When you leave a gift to National Museums Scotland in your will, you’re helping to protect Scotland’s national collections for future generations.
Gifts in wills help care for and add to the museums’ collections, carry out important conservation work, push the boundaries of research, and inspire people of all ages and backgrounds. This means that more people today and long into the future can continue to enjoy Scotland’s museums and the stories they tell.
Whether you are a regular visitor, have fond memories of a childhood spent exploring Scotland’s collections or you are simply passionate about the power of museums to inspire and educate, a gift in your will, no matter what size, will ensure a better future for National Museums Scotland – while costing you nothing in your lifetime.
If our museums are special to you, a gift in your will is a great way to enable your passion to live on through future generations – whether that’s dinosaurs, Bronze Age archaeology, Renaissance jewellery or WWII aircraft.
So once you’ve taken care of the people you love, please consider taking care of the collections and museums you love too.
