National Galleries of Scotland

Last weekend we lit up the side of the National gallery in the centre of Edinburgh. A spectacular display featuring a range of artworks from the nation’s collection was projected on to the building on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening. We brought the art from inside the galleries, to the outside – for all to see. Our message was loud and clear. That this art belongs to the people of Scotland. It is our past, our present and our future and it is free for all to access. This campaign was made possible with the expertise of our suppliers APS Group and Double Take Projections. We look forward to our continued work with them on building awareness of our brand and delivering on our vision to make art work for everyone.
