Scottish Gallery of Modern Art,Modern Two began life as the Dean Orphanage. Designed in 1830 by architect Thomas Hamilton,the building entered it's present incarnation when it as acquired by the Scottish National Galleries,opening in 1999 as the Dean Gallery. The gallery houses a collection of Dada and Surrealist works including a large body of work gifted by Edinburgh born Sir Eduardo Paolozzi,before his death. Unfortunately the galleries operate a no photos policy indoors. |

This is one of my favourite buildings in the city,probably because it looks and feels like an Italian palazzo. I can't begin to imagine the orphans' thoughts when they arrived here! |
