National Gallery of Scotland
A Work of Art
Back to National Gallery of Scotland
On Monday the 20th of august I flew to Edinburgh accompanied by two of my close friends (tom Richards and Taeya Sharrock.) During the day we looked around the city, went shopping and visited many different attractions that Edinburgh has to offer. Amongst these we spent some time visiting the national gallery which is the event that I have chosen to review.

An absolutely wonderful gallery. One of the best I have ever been in. You get lost in the paintings. A great selection of the masters from around the world. Especially Monet, my favourite.

The National Gallery is quite a study in contrasts.On the outside,a starchy classic revival style is evident while inside,a bold red-covered walls gallery in the round is waiting to be discovered.The museum's interior is arranged in such a circular fashion that it makes for easy and delightful viewing of the many masterpieces in the collections. The first floor houses some lesser works by British and American artists while the second floor has the Impressionists and world masters.

I loved this place. I visit it everytime I am in Scotland. Some of the pictures just take your breath away, especially the one of Niagra Falls, if you're lucky to see it as they rotate the pictures or they're out on loan. The atmosphere is great and there is plenty of seating if you just want to sit and rest. A lot of art students visit the place to study the pictures and draw them.

Well, I had to wait outside for about 1/2 hour until Prince Charles was finished with his private tour of one of the Michaelangelo Madonna collection of the Duke of Buccleugh, but once inside it was worth the wait. Ecclectic collection of old and modern art by Scottish people. Some ancient pieces as well. I wanted to see more Macintosh, but apparently the bulk of that is in Glasgow.
