The National Museum of Scotland partially reopened to the public earlier this month. Ahead of the reopening of Level 3 of the Victorian building on September 2 next week, here are some of the finest treasures waiting to be discovered within.
Level 3 of the museum hosts exhibits including the Earth Works, Animal Senses and Communication, Making and Creating, and Technology by Design. The Balcony Cafe will also reopen to visitors on September 2.
9. Feast Bowl
Sometimes mistaken for a dug out canoe, this 3.6 metre long object is actually a feasting bowl from the Cook Islands. It belonged to Princess Titaua of Tahiti who married a Scotsman, George Darsie. She (and the feast bowl) came with him to Scotland. Photo: NMS
