Mr. Allan Stewart

This information is as follows:

1983 Percentage Change Since 1982
National Galleries of Scotland (NGS) 343,359 -0.8
National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS) 192,639 +47.7
Royal Scottish Museum (RSM) 579,498 -7.3

The national galleries of Scotland are the National Gallery of Scotland, the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.

Since the SNPG shares a building and entrance with the NMAS the attendances are included in the NMAS figure and not in that of NGS.
