Paolozzi at 100
Paolozzi at 100 will be a celebration of the centenary of the birth of one of Scotland’s most well-known artists, Sir Eduardo Paolozzi.
Packed with the artist’s most popular works, Paolozzi at 100 allows viewers to take a step inside the wacky and eclectic mind of the artist and his take on popular culture and the machine age.
Explore two rooms of his work, ranging from the late 1940s, to his designs and prints of the 60s and 70s, and later epic public art projects. Delve into works such as his Mickey Mouse tapestry made with Dovecot Tapestry Studio and graphic and gold ceramic plate collaborations designed with Wedgwood. Marvel at his colourful mosaic designs for Tottenham Court Road Underground station, and don’t miss the kinetic energy of the Calcium Light Night and Moonstrip Empire News screenprints.
Free to visit, Paolozzi at 100 runs from 27 January to 21 April 2024 and if you can’t wait until then you can go and see his stained glass window in St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral on Palmerston Place as a warm up. His sculpture is also in the garden at the gallery and in Edinburgh Park just outside Patina at New Park Square.

Another date for your cycling diary
The first Critical Mass ride of 2023 takes place on 27 January.
Critical Mass began in San Francisco in 1992 when a group of people rode the streets weekly calling for improvements in safety for all road users. It is not a protest ride, rather a celebration and a fun way to reclaim the streets, mainly from cars and other vehicles.
The body of cyclists rides as “one vehicle” with marshalls who stop other traffic at junctions to allow the ride to pass through and stay together. This makes it safer for all rather than some stragglers becoming separated from the main body of the ride.
The ride starts in Middle Meadow Walk at 2pm on the last Saturday of each month.
