Overview
The Gallery is set in extensive parkland, where visitors can discover sculpture works by important artists like Ian Hamilton Finlay, Henry Moore, Rachel Whiteread and Barbara Hepworth. The lawn to the front of the Gallery of Modern Art was re-landscaped in 2002 to a design by Charles Jencks. This dramatic work, or 'landform', comprises a stepped, serpentine mound reflected in three crescent-shaped pools of water.
The collection of the Gallery of Modern Art ranges from the 1900s right up to the present day. Highlights include works by Vuillard, Bonnard, Matisse, Picasso, Kirchner and Dix; a superb selection of paintings by Scottish artists such as Peploe, Fergusson, Gillies and Redpath; postwar work by Bacon, Freud, Davie, Hockney, Balthus and Lege, and more recent work by artists including Baselitz, Antony Gormley and Damian Hirst. There are also special exhibitions and works from the Gallery's internationally renowned Dada and Surrealist collection alongside pieces by Eduardo Paolozzi, including a full recreation of the artist's studio.
The Gallery also features fantastic shops and cafes.
Admission: free entry apart from special exhibitions
