Recognition Scheme

Scotland’s Recognition Scheme celebrates, promotes and invests in nationally significant collections beyond those held in our national museums and galleries.

The Recognition Committee

The Recognition Committee are experienced individuals from the museum sector who evaluate new applications to the Scheme. They meet twice a year to manage the Scheme and consider any new applications.
