About


The City Art Centre houses exhibits works from our nationally recognised collection of Scottish art which are displayed on a rotating basis. Visitors can also enjoy our richly diverse programme of changing exhibitions, which include historic and modern Scottish painting and photography, as well as contemporary art and craft.

Located in Market Street, close to Waverley Station, the Royal Mile and Princes Street, the centre is ideally placed for both visitors to the city and residents alike.

An escalator and lift provide easy access to six floors, and the Centre also houses a great shop on the ground floor. Admission is normally free, although charges apply for some temporary exhibitions. Mimi's Bakehouse is situated on the ground floor, open daily 9am-5pm (last sit ins at 4:30pm) offering coffee, cake and an all day brunch menu.
