The revamped National Museum on Chambers Street in Edinburgh experienced a remarkable 141% increase in visitors following its £47 million refurbishment.
The museum re-opened in July last year and attracted almost 1.5 million people – achieving the museum's original target of one million visitors in less than four months, making it the 12th most visited museum or gallery in the UK last year.
