The dramatic increase in gallery space will allow us to show many more of our works than we do now. This is an opportunity to rethink our displays, making them more interesting and more accessible, and putting a new emphasis on Scottish art and on photography.
The collections will be shown in sixteen individual presentations, placed within a structure of broadly chronological, but overlapping, ‘Key Areas’ – Reformation, Enlightenment, Empire, Modernity and Contemporary. An Introductory Gallery will help visitors plan their time and explore the displays, which will be interpreted in new and imaginative ways. Displays will change more frequently than at present, so there should always be something different to see.
