Named one of the best galleries and art spaces in Scotland by The Times in 2022

Come and explore Kirkcaldy’s cultural hub

Kirkcaldy Galleries offers visitors a library, museum, art gallery, local & family history room, café, gift shop and children’s areas – all under one roof with FREE ENTRY to the museum and art galleries!

We have four art exhibitions on at the moment to suit a wide variety of interests.  

Unveiling the Madonna (open until 31 May 2024)

Unveiling the Madonna is a fascinating telling of the restoration of the oldest artwork in the Fife Collection, The Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist. 

Favourite Centres and New Flavours (open until 31 December 2024)

This exhibition brings together two displays; the first features some of our most requested paintings, or ‘old favourites’ and the second bursting with works that are relatively new to our Collection and have rarely, or never, been on show here. 

ARTspace

In ARTspace you will find a selection of wonderful paintings from the collection, from old favourites to hidden gems. There are lots of activities to try out in the gallery and at home. Explore the world of colour and marvel at the beauty of everyday objects brought together in still life paintings. Come face to face with some remarkable portraits and have a go at making your own.

And Crafted Selves: The Unfinished Conversation (opens 23 March until 12 May 2024)

Curated by Cat Dunn and programmed by Fife Contemporary, the upcoming exhibition Crafted Selves: The Unfinished Conversation showcases the work of thirteen Scotland based artists exploring dual identities in their work.
