Hunterian Art Gallery

Rethinking our Main Gallery

We're updating the layout of the Hunterian Art Gallery main gallery and making some changes to the way we display items from our permanent collections. Some areas of the main gallery are closed to allow us to carry out this work.

Visitors can see our critically acclaimed exhibition The Afterlife of Mary Queen of Scots, our major acquisition The Doctor and Hoyland and Hamilton: Conservation and Research.

In Gallery 2 visitors can see UNDERFOOT, the first solo exhibition in Scotland from Turner Prize-winner Elizabeth Price.

Access to our Collections

We can now offer in-person research and teaching appointments in The Hunterian Collections Study Centre. We are also able to offer appointments to view collections remotely, via remote visualiser and video-conferencing facilities. Please allow a minimum of 20 working days’ notice to allow us to schedule your visit.

Please email Hunterian-collections@glasgow.ac.uk for further details.
