Aberdeen Travel Guide

Aberdeen Art Gallery

The Aberdeen Art Gallery first opened its doors in 1885, and more than a hundred years later, continues to be one of the city's more popular attractions. The Gallery has a large permanent and changing collection, housed in an impressive building with an exquisite marble interior. Highlights include collections of Modern Art, the Scottish Colourists (including artists such as Leslie Hunter and Francis Cadell), and the Post-Impressionists. There is also a collection of local applied art and crafts, including fine examples of Aberdeen silver.
