Dr Gordon Rintoul, National Museums Scotland director, said: “This is clear recognition of the hard work undertaken by the project team and all of our staff to create an outstanding museum experience.”
John Leighton, National Galleries of Scotland director-general, said: “We are extremely pleased and honoured to make the long-list for the Art Fund Prize.”
