A small but very interesting collection of Scottish art with some surprising classics that make for a memorable visit. The art hanging on its walls is only a small part of its permanent collection, making repeated visits a must. The friendly staff can help you with information about the paintings on display.

It was my first visit as part of an evening talk. I had an opportunity to look around the recently refurbished museum and gallery. A wonderful space and beautiful collection. Also loved the kids space, definitely a place for me to take the kids soon. Good accessibility to the building with a wheelchair lift.

We're visiting Perth on short notice and today was a rainy day, so we decided to stop by the gallery (knowing nothing about it) so we could stretch our legs. We were very impressed. Our boys loved the creative area set up for kids (as did we). It was well thought out and inspired them to make and create. The shop was lovely and, in particular, has a great selection of books for kids and adults. I especially loved the selection of titles on Perth history and art. The galleries are limited at the moment, but they were perfect in every way all the same. The galleries are beautiful rooms, the artwork is gorgeous, and the tags and additional information printed on the gallery walls were interesting and thought-provoking. Some of the artwork had two tags and I found out the second set were written by students at a Perth school. What a great project, and enrichment for visitors to the gallery! You can even get a peek into the room where artwork is carefully packed up ready for when the new Perth Museum opens next year. What a treasure this gallery is!
