The National Museum of Scotland is really two connected buildings. The older, Chambers Street side was designed by Captain Francis Fowke and Robert Matheson, with construction starting in 1861 and the building opening to the public in 1866 (the full structure, including its west wing, wasn't finished until decades later). Its Venetian Renaissance exterior gives no hint of what's inside: the Grand Gallery, a full-height, cast-iron-and-glass atrium deliberately modelled on London's Crystal Palace.
A modern second building, designed by Benson & Forsyth in golden sandstone meant to echo the Old Town around it, opened alongside the original in 1998. The two institutions behind them — the Royal Scottish Museum and the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland — had organisationally merged back in 1985, but weren't formally combined as a single National Museum of Scotland until 2006.
Among its real holdings: Dolly the Sheep, the first mammal ever cloned from an adult cell, born at the nearby Roslin Institute on 5 July 1996 and now on display in the Science and Technology galleries, and the Maiden, an early Scottish guillotine built in Edinburgh in 1564 during the reign of Mary Queen of Scots and used for executions here until 1716 — more than two centuries before the guillotine became associated with the French Revolution.
