The Dean Gallery, Edinburgh
Opened in 1999 and situated directly opposite the Scottish Gallery of Modern Art, it contains the world’s largest collection of works by Eduardo Paolozzi which was gifted by the artist himself and, along with a body of Dada and Surrealist art, bequeathed by Gabrielle Keiller.
The artist’s London studio has been replicated. Seemingly chaotic; machine parts, toys, magazines, plaster casts, prints and drawings, items that inspired him over years litter this space.
Other galleries display changing exhibitions of modern and contemporary art
Originally an orphanage opened in 1830, post-modernist architect Terry Farrell oversaw the conversion. New landscaping has provided the Gallery with magnificent grounds for the display of sculpture and commanding views over the city.
Please check National Galleries of Scotland web site for current events at the Dean Gallery.
