Tower Building

Over the years, more than 50 Dundee artists and architects have been elected to the Royal Scottish Academy, going right back to its founding in 1826. This exhibition will feature work by every Academician who was born in, studied in or taught in Dundee, including John Duncan, David Foggie, McIntosh Patrick, Alberto Morrocco and leading contemporary artists such as Will Maclean, Calum Colvin, Leena Nammari and current RSA President Gareth Fisher.
The exhibition has been organised in partnership with the Royal Scottish Academy as part of RSA 200: Celebrating Together.
The exhibition is open Monday-Friday 9.30am-7pm. Last entry to the building is usually at 5pm.
As well as the pieces on display, we've created an online version of the exhibition featuring additional artworks on the Art UK website.
