The 'Dean Gallery' is an
art gallery in
Edinburgh,
Scotland, and is part of the
National Galleries of Scotland. It was opened in
1999, opposite the
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, which is its sister gallery. The building was originally an
orphanage, designed in
1830 by
Thomas Hamilton. The conversion of the building into a gallery was masterminded by
Terry Farrell. Since its opening it has housed the Paolozzi Gift, which was originally gifted to the Gallery of Modern Art in
1994. It contains a large collection of
Dada and
Surrealist art and literature, much of which was gifted by
Gabrielle Keiller. It is also used for temporary exhibitions.
A selection of works are available to view online.
