This event is an opportunity to learn about the ambitious plans to present an exhibition of Polish photography at Dalkeith Palace in August/ September 2027.

The exhibition will take as its starting point the influence of Surrealism on Polish photographers in the 1930s and will follow this thread through to contemporary Polish artists today.

The setting of Dalkeith Palace is especially appropriate — not only as a major new cultural venue, but also as the place that housed Polish soldiers during the Second World War. The presence of these brave individuals still holds a trace within the spaces where they once lived.

In preparation for Focus on Poland 2027, we will also share details of artist residencies to be held in 2026 within the Palace and its grounds, as well as plans for a major conference with our Polish partners on 26 September at the Palace.
