Talbot Rice Gallery is part of the citywide initiative to open doors to Scotland’s largest free festival that celebrates places and stories, new and old.

Every September locals and visitors alike can explore the hundreds of fascinating buildings across Scotland for free. Some open up once a year - some just once a lifetime. 

 

Placed Edinburgh’s historic city-centre and in the University of Edinburgh’s Old College, Talbot Rice Gallery is also comprised of the 19th century former natural history museum, otherwise known as our Georgian Gallery. 

The gallery’s doors are always open, but in honour of Doors Open Days, we will be hosting a series of tours and events over the two days.

Tours will take place on Saturday 28th September and Sunday 29th September at 11am and 2pm. 

Stay tuned for more information about our other events for the weekend!
