WE ARE HERE
Established in 1975, it is named after David Talbot Rice , Professor of Fine Art (1934 – 1972). Talbot Rice Gallery is one of Scotland’s leading public galleries of contemporary visual art. Rooted in an academic situation, the gallery plays a key role in the cultural life of the city, drawing a local, national and international audience to a dynamic programme of exhibitions and events.
The White Gallery:
The White Gallery is the main exhibition space at Talbot Rice; its scale and architecture provide an inspirational venue to view a changing programme of exhibitions. The gallery has a commitment to presenting the work of contemporary Scottish and International artists through solo, retrospective, and thematic exhibitions.
round room:
The round room is a unique architectural space, which links the White and Georgian galleries on the upper level. Throughout the year the space offers installations and experimental projects in conjunction with the White Gallery programme.
The Georgian Gallery:
The permanent collection is on show in the Georgian Gallery, a fine room originally designed by William Playfair to house the University’s scientific collections. The display consists of Old Master paintings, sculptures and Renaissance bronzes.
