    Talbot Rice Gallery

    This small art gallery has two exhibition spaces. The neoclassical Georgian Gallery, designed by William Playfair, houses a permanent collection of works by old masters, including Dutch landscapes by Van der Velde and Van der Meulen, and a striking bronze anatomical figure of a horse, created in Florence in 1598. The White Gallery, a more modern space, is used to exhibit the works of contemporary Scottish painters and sculptors.
