Ancient Egypt Rediscovered and Exploring East Asia will display a wide range of material from our collections inviting visitors to explore these cultures and civilisations, reinterpreting the familiar and revealing the unknown. These galleries will encourage our audiences to question and challenge their existing perceptions of histories and societies, skills that are essential to education and negotiating the wider modern world. Revealing Cultures will mark the completion of the 15 year Masterplan to redevelop the National Museum of Scotland. The threads of innovation, discovery and internationalism bound by a vision of showing the world to Scotland lie at the heart of the National Museum of Scotland Masterplan. Revealing Cultures will build on the development and reinterpretation of other elements of our World Cultures collections that was so successfully undertaken in 2011 as part of our Royal Museum Project.
