Housed in a Victorian building on Chambers Street in Edinburgh is the Royal Museum of Scotland. The museum has exhibitions of many and varied themes, from the evolution of mankind, fossils, and geology, to the scientific and industrial development of technology. Among the eclectic range of displays are the ornamental arts of the ancient worlds of China, Japan and Egypt, to name just a few. Standing adjacent to the Royal Museum of Scotland is the Museum of Scotland, which records Scotland’s history from earliest times and exhibits archaeological artefacts from the old Museum of Antiquities.
