Hello,
I am delighted to introduce our new What’s On guide highlighting
exhibitions and events taking place in our collection of museums
and galleries.
The City Art Centre sees four new exhibitions which range from
‘hidden gems’ from the City Art Centre’s collection of fine art; work
by a number of marvellous contemporary artists; and rare drawings by
Edinburgh’s most influential architect, William Henry Playfair.
Meanwhile, in Lady Stair’s Close, the Writers’ Museum celebrates the
