Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art
Set amid landscaped sculpture gardens on Belford Road, the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art is home to Scotland’s outstanding collection of modern and contemporary art. Spread across two buildings, Modern One and Modern Two, it showcases works from the early 20th century to today, featuring artists such as Matisse, Picasso, Hepworth, Hockney, and Scotland’s own Eduardo Paolozzi. Modern One, a neoclassical building designed by William Burn, presents bold, thought‑provoking displays and overlooks Charles Jencks’ dramatic landform in the grounds. Across the road, Modern Two, housed in a former orphanage by Thomas Hamilton, offers major exhibitions, Surrealist treasures, and the Paolozzi Studio. The surrounding sculpture park features works by leading international artists, creating a seamless dialogue between art and nature. With free admission, vibrant temporary shows, and inviting cafés, the Gallery is a dynamic space where creativity, history, and landscape meet.
