They are offering a chilled out night involving plenty of gin and nibbles, with a DJ providing the soundtrack for the night.
The Giant Lanterns of China
Edinburgh Zoo, Edinburgh, December 26 – February 17
Pandas aren’t the only Chinese import making an appearance at Edinburgh Zoo. This huge array of spectacular giant Chinese lanterns will light up the zoo. The Scottish winters might be a bit too chilly for the pandas, but these beautifully crafted lanterns will illuminate the zoo with a warm glow.
Andy Warhol and Eduardo Paolozzi
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art Two, Edinburgh, December 27, 2018 – Summer 2019
Andy Warhol gets much of the acclaim when Pop art is discussed and rightly so. However, a Scotsman, Eduardo Paolozzi also contributed a huge amount to the movement. Both artists will have pieces on display at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art Two. There’s much more to it than a tin of soup.
