The White Gallery

The Georgian Gallery
The Georgian Gallery's impressive neoclassical interior was originally designed by William Playfair as a natural history museum.

The upper level of the gallery displays a selection from the University Torrie Collection; a bequest to the University of predominantly 17th century Dutch paintings and bronzes.
