Whether you are feeling curious, creative or just want to take a moment to rest and reflect, this space is for you.

Unveiling the Madonna

Open until 31 May 2024

The Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist is the oldest artwork in OnFife Museums’ collection. Until recently, not much was known about this fabulous, more than 500 years old painting. Thanks to the funding from Woodmansterne Art Conservation Awards and the Common Good Funds, we were able to undertake extensive conservation and analysis of the painting between 2019-2022. This display unveils the secrets of this fascinating painting, discovered during and after its conservation.

Favourite Centres and New Flavours

Open until 31 December 2024

During our Brushstrokes exhibition we asked you, our visitors, to tell us more about what you would like to see in our art galleries. We found out that you like variety and you want to be surprised by what we have. You want to see more local artists, more women artists and more living artists. However, you also have a soft spot for some of the artists we are best-known for – the Scottish Colourists, the Glasgow Boys and William McTaggart.

Hot on the heels of that feedback we have two new displays, Favourite Centres and New Flavours. The first features some of our most requested paintings, or ‘old favourites’. The second is bursting with works that are relatively new to our collections and have rarely, or never, been on display here.
