PSA for Edinburgh friends: We went to the Turners in January exhibition today. The queue is 45 mins to an hour long. If you’re planning to go, it’s best to go when the Gallery opens at 10 and even then there’s a queue! - ThreadSky

Saw them yesterday at the third time of trying. 9.45 joined queue outside with only about a dozen folk ahead. Doors open at 10 and we were in. By the time we exited 30 mins later the Q was huge just as it had been on two times last week when we came away.

Thanks! I'm headed there tomorrow and this is really helpful.

Mum wants to see the visiting Irish ones. Does that involve the same long queue or a separate (hopefully shorter!) one? An hour's wait would be a bit much for her I think

Edinburgh and Dublin have done a swap, so will be one queue.

Aha! Good to know. Will warn accordingly

They are really well worth seeing and once you get in it’s less crowded than usual and as @ianrankin1.bsky.social said you can “get up close and personal”.

Unhelpful reply: I went at opening on New Year's day. By the time I left there was a queue.

It’s the Irish ones. The Edinburgh Turners are in Dublin and the Dublin ones are here.
That’s why I posted because I thought some people might find the wait difficult. Perhaps you could contact the gallery

Thank you so much for the heads up. I'll warn her. (Hadn't realised it was a swap, though that totally makes sense now you tell me)

They do have those little folding stools which might help

Thanks for that heads up!
