Art Galleries

When in Edinburgh we visited the Dean Gallery and the Modern Art Gallery. The Dean was showing a photographic exhibition that we both found quite disturbing by an American photographer Diane Arbus. Most of her photos were about life in all its despair, including a series taken at a hospital for learning disabled people in 1970.
The Modern Art Gallery had a new showing of works of portaiture and the human body which I found much more appealing.
After this we spent time wandering around the Dean Cemetary - a resting place for the great and good of Edinburgh
