Gallery of Modern Art Two, Belford Road

A lovely morning today, so I thought a walk to the Gallery of Modern Art Two, aka the Dean Gallery.

The Dean Gallery is part of the National Galleries of Scotland. It was opened in 1999, opposite the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, which is its sister gallery. In 2011 the buildings were renamed Modern Art Two and Modern Art One respectively. The building was originally an orphanage, designed in 1830 by Thomas Hamilton. The conversion of the building into a gallery was designed by Terry Farrell. Since its opening it has housed the Paolozzi Gift, a collection of his works given to the Gallery of Modern Art in 1994 by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi. It contains a large collection of Dada and Surrealist art and literature, much of which was given by Gabrielle Keiller. It is also used for temporary exhibitions.

Just in case you missed my blip yesterday of the delightful Wesley, which I put up rather late.

I hope everyone has a good weekend.
