WELCOME to one of the National Galleries of Scotland’s most innovative and ambitious programmes of Summer Exhibitions to date.
Use this site to explore, enjoy and even book a visit to: Van Gogh and Britain, a major show about the collecting of Van Gogh in this country; two sensational photography shows, one on Harry Benson the other on Robert Mapplethorpe; a rare look at the work of Adam Elsheimer, one of the unsung heroes of the history of art; and the breathtaking sculpture of contemporary artist Ron Mueck.
We strongly recommend that you book early, particularly for peak periods such as weekends and during the Edinburgh Festival. Each exhibition has its own mini-website – to launch them, select from the list.
