Collective Gallery - City Observatory
Edinburgh
Collective is a contemporary art gallery in a heritage observatory, on Calton Hill. Collective develops and presents world-class exhibitions, events, workshops and discussions from ground-breaking local and international artists. We run artist-led activities for young people, as well as the sector-leading development programme for emerging creative practitioners, Satellites.Founded in 1984 as an artist-run initiative, Collective now runs from our home on Edinburgh’s iconic Calton Hill.
There will be tours of the Cooke telescope, which is housed in the City Observatory building. These will be operated by the Astronomical Society of Edinburgh. Telescope Tours should be booked in advance. These are very popular, so please cancel your ticket if you can no longer make it, and make every effort to be on time for your booking.
The 20 minute tours will run from 11am-1pm and 2pm-4pm.
