PERTH — Perth Art Gallery has announced a major retrospective of acclaimed Scottish artist Lys Hansen, opening 27 November 2026 as part of her 90th birthday year, featuring new and rarely seen works.
Culture Perth & Kinross described it as a celebration. A High Street shopper described it as “something to do when it’s raining, which is always”.
Tickets are not yet the point. Standing thoughtfully in front of art is.
