This in-app audio tour will guide you through timeless masterpieces of world art and Scottish artistic heritage housed in the Scottish National Gallery.
Keep in mind that this museum has a free (!) admission. By buying this audio tour, you don’t pay for your entry. However, you get an opportunity to explore the beauty of the museum at your own pace, following the carefully planned route, seeing the best the museum has to offer, and listening to amazing stories.
You will walk through the opulent rooms of the neoclassical jewel of Edinburgh and explore the highlights of the outstanding collection, including Botticelli, Titian, Velázquez, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and more.
The tour will take you from the Middle Age to Renaissance, from the Baroque to Rococo, and to the all-time favourite Impressionism. You will hear little-known facts about the artists whose names are on everyone's lips, and trace how art developed throughout history.
On top of that, you will discover the unique art of Scotland with its own authentic artistic traditions. The gallery boasts breathtaking Scottish landscapes and scenes from everyday life you don't want to miss. Marvel at iconic portraits by Sir Henry Raeburn, and travel back in time to 18th-century Edinburgh with David Wilkie.
Note! This tour is not affiliated with the Scottish National Gallery but is provided by an independent creator.
