Talbot Rice Gallery
Talbot Rice Gallery is the public art gallery of the University of Edinburgh, located within the historic Old College on South Bridge. Founded in 1975 and named after art historian David Talbot Rice, the gallery blends neoclassical architecture with cutting-edge contemporary art. It features two distinct exhibition spaces: the Georgian Gallery, with its ornate 19th-century design, and the minimalist White Cube, ideal for experimental installations. Talbot Rice Gallery presents a bold programme of solo and group exhibitions, often engaging with political and social themes while connecting artists to university research and collections. Admission is free, and the gallery plays a vital role in Edinburgh’s cultural landscape, fostering dialogue between artists, scholars, and the public. With its commitment to innovation, inclusivity, and academic collaboration, Talbot Rice Gallery offers a unique and thought-provoking experience at the intersection of heritage and contemporary creativity.
