Collective - a new centre for contemporary art - will open in Edinburgh on Saturday 24 November 2018 after a major restoration project in partnership with City of Edinburgh Council at one of the capital’s major World Heritage sites. Situated on top of Calton Hill, overlooking the city, Collective will include the restored City Observatory, designed by William Playfair in 1818, a new purpose-built exhibition space with panoramic viewing terrace, and a destination restaurant, The Lookout by Gardener’s Cottage. For the first time in its 200-year history the City Observatory site will be freely open to the public. Collective will position itself as a new kind of observatory, inviting the public to view the world around them through the lens of contemporary art.
