Reviews
Beautifully presented modern art gallery in a stunning building, was free entry when I went. Also gave out free information booklets about the exhibits on. Very thought provoking modern art in multiple forms :)
Being part of the historic Old College of the University of Edinburgh, Talbot Rice Gallery
provides a stunning backdrop for medium-scale exhibitions.
I like the layout and the sequence of the space that visitors would experience along the route, starting at a contemporary double-height white space lit by skylight, through several transitional area leading to the neoclassical vaulted hall. The journey itself is dramatic, and the exhibitions I saw were all benefited from the venue which has broadened the possibilities of representation.
One of the best contemporary galleries in Edinburgh. The work is always interesting and curated to perfection.
I always make the effort to visit every exhibition.
@talbotricegallery was a blast. As my first #universitygallery experience in Scotland 🏴, I am amazed.

What other university galleries and art museums would you recommend to visit?
Beautiful Exhibition unpacking colonial legacies, debt analysis and storytelling. Thank you for hosting us.
Disabled access not considered here. A regular wheelchair user was told that they could use the stairs! A medical miracle perhaps? Use of the lift finds one exiting into an unlit area used to stage performance art quite inappropriate for disabled visitors. The final third of the exhibition could not be accessed at all due to stairs only access.
The exhibits themselves were a joy and a challenge. The Tower by Jesse Jones and 45th Parallel by Abu Haman were thought provoking and perfectly presented. Contemporary issues of great importance were addressed. Please do go and raise hell if you can’t access exhibits. The Equality Act needs enforcement here!
Very nice, lovely staff, interesting place to visit often, great art gallery space on two levels and into many adjacent rooms to. I always make a visit here when in Edinburgh.
One of the best art spaces in Edinburgh. The exhibition spaces wind around a bit so make sure you’ve seen everything. They usually feature some of the best contemporary artists working today
