Being part of the historic Old College of the University of Edinburgh, Talbot Rice Galleryprovides a stunning backdrop for medium-scale exhibitions.I like the layout and the sequence of the space that visitors would experience along the route, starting at a contemporary double-height white space lit by skylight, through several transitional area leading to the neoclassical vaulted hall. The journey itself is dramatic, and the exhibitions I saw were all benefited from the venue which has broadened the possibilities of representation.

The gallery can be scary if you visit there during weekday because no one is around and some corners in the exhibition are dark

Beautiful and inspiring place where I go regularly, especially now when Angelica Mesiti In the Round exhibition is still on display, would recommend to everybody who is interested in contemporary art at all

Must have been an off day, think someone replaced the paintings with a sound and light arrangement akin to sensory deprivation during rendition. Me and me lad thought the wheelchair under the stairs was an exhibit for a while. Not too sure, definitely a place for the more intellectual pretentious as I didn't get it. On the positive it was free and broke up the journey to Gregg's.

Disabled access not considered here. A regular wheelchair user was told that they could use the stairs! A medical miracle perhaps? Use of the lift finds one exiting into an unlit area used to stage performance art quite inappropriate for disabled visitors. The final third of the exhibition could not be accessed at all due to stairs only access.The exhibits themselves were a joy and a challenge. The Tower by Jesse Jones and 45th Parallel by Abu Haman were thought provoking and perfectly presented. Contemporary issues of great importance were addressed. Please do go and raise hell if you can’t access exhibits. The Equality Act needs enforcement here!

First visit to Talbot Rice hidden away in the midst of Edinburgh university x Really enjoyed the exciting and unusual art work, installations and film, the beautiful gallery and staircases. Staff were warm and welcoming as we've found in all our art gallery visit this week. Be aware a lot of steep stairs but there is lift access for disabled visitors.

Certainly consistent with every exhibition cleverly and dramatically saying capitalism bad, socialism good!Some diversity of thought and presentation would be thought provoking. Unlikely though!!Always a fun crowd.

The Talbot Rice Gallery is such a fantastic place to visit for anyone interested in art. Their exhibitions are always very engaging, interactive and thought provoking, making contemporary art very accessible to all. One really does feel they are seeing the latest themes in art at display. Also, all their staff and volunteers are super friendly and helpful and they really make you feel welcomed from the start! Talbot Rice is of the must see places in Edinburgh and it's free to visit too :)

A hidden gem! Not only is the Talbot Rice Gallery set in an absolutely beautiful building and grounds, but the exhibitions are edgy, provocative and challenging.It is open to the public and despite being one of the most important galleries in Edinburgh, it's tucked away position means it is often overlooked.You are assured of a warm welcome by the staff so don't be put off by the imposing surroundingsWhether you're a visitor to the capital or an Edinburgh resident, you really must visit this fabulous gallery.Don't walk past - look in. You won't regret it!
