The Recognition Scheme celebrates, promotes and invests in nationally significant collections held outside the nationally run museums and galleries around the country. Funded by the Scottish Government and managed by Museums Galleries Scotland, the Recognition Scheme helps to make sure that these important collections are identified, cared for, protected and promoted to a wider audience.
To date, 27 collections across Scotland have been Recognised as being of national importance.
