Fruitmarket Gallery, Contemporary art institution in Market Street, Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
The Fruitmarket Gallery spans two connected buildings featuring exhibition spaces, a bookshop, and a café in central Edinburgh near Waverley Station.
The structure originated as a fruit and vegetable market in 1938, transforming into an art gallery in 1974 through renovation by architect John L Patterson.
The gallery organizes exhibitions from international and Scottish artists, along with workshops, talks, and collaborative projects throughout the calendar year.
The gallery maintains free admission for all visitors, operating daily from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM with extended opening hours during festival periods.
The 2021 renovation integrated a former nightclub space, doubling the gallery size while preserving original architectural elements above Edinburgh's railway tracks.
