Giacometti,
Velazquez,
Livingstone. .
They all knew how to draw
a crowd.
Stunning works of art from all over the world have been brought to Edinburgh for what promises to be an extremely popular series of exhibitions. Just like the Festival, we have work by b0th household names and lesser known artists. But unlike many of the Festival shows, these collections won’t be back next year. So come along to the National Galleries to see five of the most enjoyable
exhibitions ever to come to Edinburgh.
