This gallery is housed in an imposing neo-classical building, which was designed by William Burn in 1825.

Formerly the John Watson's School, an institute for fatherless children, it was adapted for the Gallery in 1984. It now has bright, spacious rooms for both temporary exhibitions and permanent collection displays, and a print-room which is open by appointment. It also houses the conservation workshop for all the National Galleries, as well as a café and shop.

The grounds of the Gallery provide an ideal setting for sculptures by Tony Cragg, Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore and Rachel Whiteread, among others. The lawn at the front of the building was landscaped to a design by Charles Jencks to create Landform Ueda, which comprises a stepped, serpentine-shaped mound complemented by crescent-shaped pools of water.

A combination of artwork, garden and social space, the landform was inspired by chaos theory and shapes found in nature. It won the Gulbenkian Prize for Museum of the Year in 2004.

This gallery was originally built as the Dean Orphan Hospital in 1833 by Thomas Hamilton. In 1999 it was converted into a Gallery by Terry Farrell and Partners in order to show the Gallery of Modern Art's extensive collection of Dada and Surrealist art and work by the sculptor Eduardo Paolozzi.

The Paolozzi Gallery contains displays of the artist's work which change periodically, while a recreation of Paolozzi's London studio can be found in an adjoining room. A selection of paintings and sculpture from the Gallery's Dada and Surrealist collection is displayed in the Penrose Gallery and adjacent Keiller Library, a specially designed library gallery.

There is also a reading room where works from the library and archive can be consulted by appointment. Paolozzi's monumental sculpture Vulcan was commissioned especially for the Gallery's Great Hall, and installed in this room's ceiling are panels by Paolozzi which were originally commissioned for Cleish Castle in Fife.
