How to join our Gallery of Stars
The zodiac is represented in the 30 panels which sit above the Great Hall. Each star has been assigned a unique number, which you should quote if you want to choose a specific star or stars. Use the star map to view a graphic representation of the panels in detail and obtain the numbers.
You can use your donation to choose stars through our Online Shop, by using the attached application form (PDF), or by contacting us on 0131 624 6459 or email donate@nationalgalleries.org.
When donating to Gallery of Stars online, you can either choose a generic star by adding it to your basket in the usual way, or reserve a specific star or stars by noting the number of the star (e.g. A57) in the Promotion Code field when completing your online purchase.
In the event that your choice of star has already been taken, or the size of star does not match your donation, we will contact you either by phone or email to make alternative arrangements.
In recognition of your gift you will receive a limited edition certificate with the position of your star. Your name and star will also be recorded in the newly re-opened National Portrait Gallery and on our website.
