The Dean Gallery opened in March 1999, to house the Paolozzi Gift and part of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art’s permanent collection, and host exhibitions. Originally designed by Thomas Hamilton in the 1830s as the Dean Orphan Hospital, its recent conversion into a Gallery was undertaken by the architects Terry Farrell and Partners. Situated opposite the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, the Dean Gallery displays our world-class holdings of Dada and Surrealist art and work by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi; it also houses exhibitions (recent shows have featured Salvador Dalí, René Magritte and The Scottish Colourists).
