Jenni Calder (née Daiches) (born 1941) is a Scottish literary historian, and arts establishment figure. She was married to Angus Calder, and is the daughter of David Daiches. She also once ran the Edinburgh Book Festival. The National Museum incorporates the collections of the former National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland. As well as the national collections of Scottish archaeological finds and medieval objects, the museum contains artifacts from around the world, encompassing geology, archaeology, natural history, science, technology, art, and world cultures. From the rocks that shaped the landscape to millennium multimedia--study the objects and meet the people of Scotland's past and present. Excellent descriptions of gallery displays and suggested routes assure you a well-informed visit as well as a memorable and enjoyable one. The National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, Scotland, was formed in 2006 with the merger of the new Museum of Scotland, with collections relating to Scottish antiquities, culture and history, and the adjacent Royal Museum (so renamed in 1995), with collections covering science and technology, natural history, and world cultures. The two connected buildings stand beside each other on Chambers Street, by the intersection with the George IV Bridge, in central Edinburgh. The museum is part of National Museums Scotland. The two buildings retain distinctive characters: the Museum of Scotland is housed in a modern building opened in 1998, while the former Royal Museum building was begun in 1861, and partially opened in 1866, with a Victorian Venetian Renaissance facade and a grand central hall of cast iron construction that rises the full height of the building.
