The display will include photographs, paintings, drawings and sculpture, many of which will be shown for the first time, and will span the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Among the highlights featured in the exhibition will be a double portrait by Scottish artist Cecile Walton (1912), a portrait by Scottish Surrealist Edward Baird (1932), a series of black and white photographs of Glasgow in the late 1960s by David Peat, as well as a portrait of the internationally acclaimed actor Alan Cumming by Christian Hook.

The Photography Collection, which has seen significant growth in recent years, will also be represented by internationally-celebrated artists Jitka Hanzlová, Eve Arnold and Rankin.
