Royal Museum of Scotland

Listed under Museums in Edinburgh, United Kingdom.

Scotland's Royal Museum has satisfyingly diverse collections of everything from early fossils to the Dolly the Sheep, the first successfully cloned mammal from a cell. As you would expect, there are good displays covering the breadth of Scottish history and culture. It's all housed in a spectacular building designed by Francis Fawk, architect of the Royal Albert Hall.
