Modern Two

Modern Two is an art museum in Edinburgh housing a significant collection of modern and contemporary works. The building itself is a Georgian mansion featuring naturally lit gallery spaces and smaller exhibition rooms throughout.

The building opened as an art gallery in 1999, transforming a historical mansion into a contemporary exhibition space. This conversion allowed the city to make its significant art collection accessible to a wider public.

The gallery displays a notable collection of Dada and Surrealism works that visitors can encounter throughout the exhibition spaces. These movements continue to shape how people understand and engage with art today.

A visit requires no preparation since entry is free and wheelchair access is provided throughout. Guided tours are also available for those wanting to learn more about the works and building.

Visitors can request private access to the extensive archives on Dada and Surrealism to view rare original documents and works. These archives hold important materials that are normally not displayed in the public gallery spaces.
