National Programme 2017/2018 2 National Programme 2017/2018 3 National Programme 2017/2018 National Programme 2017/2018 1 National Programme Across Scotland Through our National Strategy 2016–2020, Across Scotland, Working to Engage and Inspire, we are endeavouring to bring our collections, expertise and programmes to people, museums and communities throughout Scotland. In 2017/18 we worked in all of Scotland’s 32 local authority areas to deliver a wide-ranging programme which included touring exhibitions and loans, community engagement projects, learning and digital programmes as well as support for collections development through the National Fund for Acquisitions, expert advice from our specialist staff and skills development through our National Training Programme. As part of our drive to engage young people in STEM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), we developed Powering Up, a national science engagement programme for schools. Funded by the ScottishPower Foundation, we delivered workshops on wind, solar and wave energy in partnership with the National Mining Museum, the Scottish Maritime Museum and New Lanark World Heritage Site. In January 2017, as part of the final phase of redevelopment of the National Museum of Scotland, we launched an ambitious national programme to support engagement with Ancient Egyptian and East Asian collections held in museums across Scotland. Funded by the National Lottery and the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund, the project is providing national partnership exhibitions and supporting collection reviews, skills development and new approaches to audience engagement. All of this work is contributing to our ambition to share our collections and expertise as widely as possible, ensuring that we are a truly national museum for Scotland. -

Acquired by The Hunterian with a grant from the National Fund for Acquisitions. National Fund for Acquisitions The National Fund for Acquisitions (NFA), provided by Scottish Government to the Trustees of National Museums Scotland, contributes towards the acquisition of objects for the collections of Scottish museums, galleries, libraries, archives and other similar institutions open to the public. The Fund can help with acquisitions in most collecting areas including objects relating to the arts, literature, history, natural sciences, technology, industry and medicine. Decisions on grant applications are made in consultation with curatorial staff at National Museums Scotland and the Directors and staff of the National Galleries of Scotland and the National Library of Scotland who provide expert advice to the Fund. While recognising that the financial climate is extremely difficult, National Museums Scotland was particularly dismayed to learn of a 25% cut to the NFA’s already limited funding, reducing the grant to only £150,000 in financial year 2011/12. NFA funding had remained at £200,000 per annum since 1996, a figure which in real terms has declined very considerably in value during the subsequent fifteen years. Clearly the extent of the cut means that the NFA cannot support collecting in Scotland as effectively as we would wish. -
