We have had the privilege of working with the National Museum of Scotland for over 15 years, contributing to an ongoing series of gallery redesigns that have transformed the museum, which not attracts nearly 2 millions visitors a year. In 2016 the museum opened 10 beautiful new galleries, exploring the worlds of art, fashion, religion and science. The galleries are a feast for the imagination; eclectic, adventurous, entertaining and amazing. The museum was described by The Times as a ‘Temple of the curious’, who said;

“It seems all of human achievement is laid out for the curious visitor”.

We are proud to be part of this, having made 17 documentaries for the galleries, covering everything from the Ceremony of the Mass to Particle Physics and Body Image. Location filming took place all across Scotland, with the help of scientists, engineers, fashion designers, students, bridge-builders, entrepreneurs, even the police – some of the film can be seen below. In 2019 we contributed a series of 7 films to the final phase of the museum’s redevelopment, including galleries focused on Ceramics, Ancient Egypt and the Far East.
