allieballie: Constant rearranging and movement of the artworks means that I really have to archive this one as I'm not in a position to keep it updated. Sorry all [:(]

This cache was inspired by reading about a cache at the National Gallery in London where you have to go around and look at paintings to solve clues, and also by a cache at Cork Museum which I did over Easter - where you had to go in and find the answers from the displays.
You will have to go into the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (above co-ordinates are for the entrance) in order to find the answers to the questions below. Entrance is free (although you can make a donation should you so wish), but you may have to pay a fee should you wish to visit particular exhibitions whilst you are here. I have not set any of the clues in the exhibition galleries - all can be found in the permanent displays. Obviously because of opening times you will be restricted as to when you can solve the clues. Opening times are as follows:
10am-5pm daily. Thursdays 7pm.
Closed 25th, 26th December.
1st Jan 12pm-5pm.
There are also extended opening hours during the Edinburgh Festival - this year the gallery will be open from 1-31 August 10am-6pm. Thursdays 7pm.
Go up to the second floor.
