Today was all about Edinburgh's wealth of Art. The Gallery of Modern Art, 75 Belford Road, Edinburgh, represents one of the finest collections of works from 1900 to present. It was with great excitement that I approached the gallery, and who could blame me?
A short 10 minute walk from the West End this gallery has been the HQ of modern art since it opened in 1984. Set in magnificent landscaped grounds the neo-classical landmark holds a fine collection open to one and all. Above the grand frontage a bright neon lighting installation reads "everything is going to be alright" and these words of hope echo through its vast structure. Whilst wandering through it is hard to not feel inspired by not only the collections but by the hard working curators who have so brilliantly turned this former school into a prime example of why Edinburgh has its fine reputation for Art and culture. A must see!
