The Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop has announced a £245,000 funding boost to improve museum buildings and galleries.
The fund will also help towards purchasing objects to expand the museums' collections.
Museums Galleries Scotland is to receive £170,000 which will be distributed among local and non-national museums.
A total of £70,000 is to assist with the remaining costs of refurbishing the visitor access facilities at the Grampian Transport Museum (GTM).
Ms Hyslop said: "Grampian Transport Museum is hugely popular with 62,000 people passing through the doors each year. I'm delighted this funding will help refurbish visitor access facilities and make the experience even better."
A further £75,000 will also be handed over to top up the National Fund for Acquisitions (HA).
