Come and explore Kirkcaldy's cultural hub!
Step into one of Fife’s most treasured free cultural landmarks. Located in the heart of Kirkcaldy, just a stone’s throw from the train station, Kirkcaldy Galleries is a vibrant hub for art, history, reading and community activity.
Home to an award-winning museum and art gallery, a modern library, a café and local archives, the Galleries offer something for everyone. Explore world-class exhibitions, including works by the celebrated Scottish Colourists, delve into Fife’s rich heritage, or simply enjoy a quiet moment with a book or coffee.
With a year-round programme of events, activities for all ages, and stunning views over the town’s historic War Memorial Gardens, Kirkcaldy Galleries is the perfect place to discover, learn and be inspired.
In 2025, Kirkcaldy Galleries celebrates 100 years at the heart of the Lang Toun’s War Memorial. Opening 28 June, our Centenary Exhibition uncovers links to the Great War and a mystery benefactor. Explore the collection, share your stories, and help us celebrate a century of culture, community and creativity in Kirkcaldy.
We have art exhibitions on at the moment to suit a wide variety of interests.
A Century of Kirkcaldy Galleries (open until 25 January 2026) shows how the collections have developed over the years, and we want you to help us decide what we should be collecting in the future. Find out which artists have been inspired by the paintings and be inspired yourself.
Favourite Centres and New Flavours (open until 31 December 2025) brings together two displays; the first features some of our most requested paintings, or ‘old favourites’ and the second bursting with works that are relatively new to our Collection and have rarely, or never, been on show here.
In ARTspace you will find a selection of wonderful paintings from the collection, from old favourites to hidden gems. There are lots of activities to try out in the gallery and at home. Explore the world of colour and marvel at the beauty of everyday objects brought together in still life paintings. Come face to face with some remarkable portraits and have a go at making your own.
Collecting the Contemporary: Scottish Art at Kirkcaldy Galleries (open until 2026) This display showcases four paintings by renowned Scottish artists—John Bellany, Ken Currie, Callum Innes, and Alison Watt—each highlighting a unique aspect of Scottish art and different painting techniques.
