The gallery hosts frequent temporary exhibitions and boasts an extensive permanent collection of paintings, sculptures, and graphics from the 15th century to the present day. The site also offers regular lunchtime concerts and talks, which are especially convenient for tourists with little time on their hands. The gallery has a busy schedule throughout the year, so be sure to check online for an accurate listing of upcoming events before you make the trip.

Been here many times for performances and enjoy it better then HMT. Seats are comfy and mood is relaxed. Queues for the bar are incredibly long - could do with a little organisation to ensure people are in the right line. Staff very helpful and prices usually respectable.

Bridge of Don academy pupils put on a great performance, of Calamity Jane. Fantastic singing and acting. Very professional.
