Number of visits to the National Museum of Scotland in the UK 2010-2021
The number of visits to the National Museum of Scotland was significantly lower in 2020 and 2021 over the previous years due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. While the visitor volume to that cultural institution reached a total of 2.2 million in 2019, it dropped sharply to 444 thousand in 2020, then rose to 661 thousand in 2021. Although the figure reported in 2021 stayed way below pre-pandemic levels, the National Museum of Scotland was the most visited free attraction in Scotland in 2021.
