De missie: Jouw verhaal in Edinburgh
Welcome to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh walking tour with art features. You are stepping into a living gallery where over 350 years of botanical science meets world-class contemporary art. Today, we are moving beyond the plant beds to explore how human creativity physically shapes and responds to this historic landscape. Our journey will take us completely across the living collections, unearthing masterworks crafted from stone, wire, and bronze that challenge how we see our environment. Please ensure you are dressed for the Scottish weather as we follow the paths all the way to our final stop at the East Gate. Keep your eyes open to how the changing light, shadows, and seasonal growth alter these installations in real-time. Let's begin our walk with our very first exhibition.
You may pause the tour anytime you like and take as much time as you wish at each stop.
