Remodeling going on at the National Museum of Scotland

The National Museum of Scotland site is undergoing an incredible transformation into a 21st-century museum experience, re-opening in summer 2011. This means that at present, around half of the museum complex is closed, including the Victorian main hall. Jim was able to see a large part of the museum but the ancient jewelry and artifacts were still on display.

This is a wonderful museum. Jim went on Wed with our friend Mike, I went in 2007. Some of the Lewis Chess men are housed here and many stone carvings and other ancient works of art.
