The National Galleries of Scotland has warned it could have to start shuttering its flagship attractions in Edinburgh to cut costs amid an escalating financial crisis.
Bosses have told MSPs that at least £40 million is needed to address the declining condition of its buildings.
The organisation, which runs four major attractions in Edinburgh - the National, Portrait and Modern One and Two - has warned the Scottish Government's annual funding contribution, which is expected to top £20m in the coming financial year, falls well short of what is needed to manage and run its major galleries and storage facilities.
