2025 J M W Turner Exhibition, Edinburgh (i)
Posted in Art, Edinburgh, Exhibitions at 12:00 on 27 April 2026
Every January the Scottish National Gallery in Princes Street, Edinburgh, displays its bequest of works by J M W Turner. The terms of the bequest by Henry Vaughan dictated that these works could only be shown in January in order to protect them from damage by light.
In 2025 there was a variation to this practice in that the Edinburgh Gallery swapped its collection with that of the National Gallery of Ireland.
The day we went there was a long queue to get in (in normal years there isn’t) but we did we get to see a lot of Turners new to us.
