Art for everyone
We are the National Galleries for Scotland, and our three Edinburgh galleries are the National, Modern and Portrait. We house and care for Scotland’s amazing world-class art collection. Step inside and explore treasures from Botticelli and Titian to the very best modern art and contemporary portraits of pop culture icons. And, as you would expect, the world’s greatest collection
of Scottish art. We are a space for thinking, dreaming, doing, and playing. Meet friends in the cafés. Have a family picnic surrounded by the sculptures in the Modern grounds. Be inspired by our amazing art films. Enjoy a free event. Choose your own experience. There is no one way to enjoy Scotland’s national collection. We are yours to discover.
Have you ever wondered what happens to paintings when they're not on display? Where do we keep them? And who decides where they go? In Making Space For Art, Holly Prentice tells us about her role as art store manager ❤
Produced by the National Galleries of Scotland, with music by Alex Johnston and sound mixed by Jenny Ek. Special thanks to all staff who participated in the production.
What are your plans this week? Perhaps you are baking some fresh bread, heading out for a coffee, dancing the night away, or maybe are you away to the pub for a blether and a game of darts?
Either way, we hope you have a fun week!
But be quick this is your last chance to visit Before and After Coal at the Portrait gallery (closing Sunday 15 September) before the exhibition hits the road as it goes on tour!
The exhibition will travel to:
Kirkcaldy Galleries, Fife from 7 December 2024–20 April 2025
The Baird Institute, Cumnock, East Ayrshire from 8 May–23 August 2025
These venues provide a great opportunity for the exhibition to be seen by those in the former mining areas, who have contributed so much to its making.

Any one for a cuppa?
In 1947 a reporter described Anne Redpath's sitting room: 'Immediately on entering... I felt as though I had stepped into one of her pictures. There was a tea tray standing on a little table as I had so often seen it, and, as on the painted tables, the cups did not match! On the mantelpiece were familiar pieces of crockery - a pink and white teapot, a petunia-coloured bowl, a Worcester jug with a bright band of blue around it.' This is one of a number of still lifes and interiors which Redpath painted at her home in Beaconsfield Terrace, Hawick, during the 1940s.
Following the tradition of artists like Matisse and Vuillard, Redpath’s paintings are often intimate portrayals of her own domestic setting.

Happy birthday Sir Antony Mark David Gormley 🍰🎈
6 TIMES comprises six life-size figures, positioned between the grounds of the Moderns and the sea at Leith Docks, Edinburgh. Typical of Gormley’s style the figures are casts of the artist’s body. Each looks in a slightly different way, which is referenced to in the subtitles: Horizon, Ground, Left, Right and Sky. The work is quiet and contemplative, drawing attention to the natural and man-made environment of the Water of Leith, which runs through the heart of Edinburgh - making it an ideal, peaceful walk.
Gormley encourages the viewer to consider how human beings fit into the social and natural landscapes they inhabit, how they understand identity and how they engage with one another.

We'd love to know what art movement or style resonates with you the most and why?
We can't wait to read your answers in the comments below!
Edvard Munch took an experimental approach to his printmaking. The first stage of lithography involves drawing the design directly onto a smooth slab of limestone, using an oil-based crayon. Unusually, Munch would hoist the heavy stone onto his easel, so that he could draw freely onto its surface as if it were canvas or paper. Munch worked with printmakers in Berlin to rework this sexualised Madonna more than 100 times in different variations.
The decorative border shows swimming s***m and a foetus to symbolise conception and pregnancy (clearly blasphemous in the context of the Madonna, or Virgin Mary).

They say don't judge a book by its cover but when it looks this good its hard not to 😍
Imagine you are holding a small hardback book in the palm of your hand. It has a hand–painted cover, with splodges and spatters of vivid blue mingling with dark red and purple. It’s a little worn around the edges, showing its age. Kew Gardens is from a series of six prints Skaer made using photographs of the covers of six books published by the Hogarth Press during the early 1900s. Each print in the series magnifies and enhances the physical details of a single copy of a book using a range of printmaking techniques.

Welcoming the weekend with our muse, 'The Virgin Adoring the Sleeping Christ Child' 🌹 In art, literature and culture, roses have been named the symbol of romance. Egyptians, for example, associate the magical allure of roses with Cleopatra, who spread rose petals in her palace to win over Mark Antony. The Greeks and Romans saw roses as a gift from Aphrodite or Venus, their love goddess.
In mediaeval and early Renaissance art, the enclosed garden (hortus conclusus) is a commonly used symbol of Mary’s virginity while the bower of thornless roses refers to her Immaculate Conception as the Mother of God, born without original sin.
🌹Sandro Botticelli, The Virgin Adoring the Sleeping Christ Child. About 1485.

We are so sad the 2024 Olympics are over. Here's a throwback to the 1928 Olympics where Laura Knight took silver, not for athletics, but for painting! Did you know art used to be an Olympic sport? Between 1912 and 1948, there were Olympic medals for various forms of the arts. They were ahead of the game!
The Turner Prize only started in 1984. In 1936 Knight became the first woman to be elected a full Royal Academician (there were two women founder members but technically they weren’t elected, and Annie Swynnerton was elected to Associate level in 1922).

Mrs Doubtfire is one of Robin Williams’s best-known characters. The inspiration for the name might just surprise you...
The rather formidable name Madame Doubtfire was adopted by the real-life Annabella Adams. She owned a second-hand clothing and bric-a-brac shop in Edinburgh. She chose to use her first husband’s name even though she re-married after his death. The sign above her store, ‘Madame Doubtfire’, caught the eye of author Anne Fine who was living in Edinburgh at the time. The 1993 film adaptation of Fine’s novel, with Robin Williams in the role of the title character Mrs Doubtfire, would make that name internationally famous.
Long before that success, Williams performed at the Fringe – in 1971! Maybe he even stopped by to meet Annabella and her cat companions…
Do you remember ever seeing the shop?

Have you spotted Rose Finn-Kelcey flag above Modern Two as part of Women in Revolt!? Between 1968 and 1973 Rose Finn-Kelcey made a series of flags which she flew from the top of various European landmarks. Part of the touring exhibition from @tate Women in Revolt! spans two decades of art and activism, charting a range of themes and social issues that influenced and impacted women artists. Featuring artists from across the UK, the powerful works highlight the ways women challenged societal norms, through their creativity, both collectively and in isolation, using their lived experiences to create art and fight injustice. @katemacgarry #womeninrevolt #rosefinnkelcey 📷 Rose Finn-Kelcey, , Here is a Gale Warning (flag). 2023.

Paula and Malaika share why you should visit the new exhibition Before and After Coal at the Portrait gallery ✨ Take a journey back in time through the lens of photographer Milton Rogovin who came to Scotland to capture images of Scottish miners at their pits, homes and during their leisure time in 1982. Nicky Bird revisited these images and updated Rogovin’s photographs through her project Mineworkings, meeting with former mineworkers and their families who were connected with the original images taken during Rogovin’s time in Scotland. Through community outreach work from 2021 to 2023, participants shared the stories behind Rogovin’s photos, as they recognised their fathers and mothers, grandpas and grannies, workmates and friends. Some even saw themselves, 40 years on. Don't forget this exhibition is free for you to discover ✨
‘Drawing is the perfect tool for me to flesh out crazy ideas…’ An animated response to the sketchbooks of one of the world’s leading contemporary artists, Do Ho Suh. Born in South Korea, Suh spent decades working in New York, before moving to London. His work asks questions about the meaning of home and identity: what do we carry with us as we move around the world? Every artwork in Suh’s practice starts on paper, often in small sketchbooks: personal, unconstrained spaces in which he explores his past, present and future. This film explores some of those sketches ✏ @dohosuhstudio @victoriamirogallery @lehmannmaupin @stpi_gallery 📍Modern One 📅Until Sun 1 Sep 2024 ⏰Open daily, 10am–5pm 🎫Admission free
Let's celebrate #GlobalRecyclingDay together! 💚 We recently visited Paper Conservation with Armita Bagherzadeh, who shared with us their creative process of repurposing mountboard offcuts to provide support for bound materials on display.

This change not only helps us minimise waste but also cuts down on material expenses. It's a small yet impactful move towards a more eco-friendly conservation approach.
Happy 100 birthday Eduardo Paolozzi 🎈🎉 #OnThisDay #Paolozziat100 Today we're celebrating Paolozzi's birthday with our lovely visitors. The party continues at Modern Two in our Paolozzi at 100 exhibition where you can discover some of his most popular artworks, including collages, prints, textiles, ceramics and sculptures. Paolozzi was born in Edinburgh’s Leith in 1924. He studied in Edinburgh and London before spending two years in Paris.

Returning to London to teach at several art schools, Paolozzi continued to develop his printmaking and sculpture techniques, with a particular interest in the mass media and in science and technology, developing a style that would become known as Pop Art. #YoursToDiscover 📍Modern Two 🎫FREE ⌚Daily between 10am-5pm
