The ceremony rooms at the Register Office are also used for civil naming ceremonies and new citizenship ceremonies.
The pictures by David Murray date from 1893 and 1902, and are a chance for the people of the city to see art that had previously been hidden away in a storeroom, said Register Officer Neil McIntyre.
He said: "It's been a lengthy project to choose them and have them renovated." It had cost around £3,500.
Carole Codd was one of the officers who looked through The Walker's collection to find a painting that suited the room.
She said: "The landscape fits in because it's neutral and it's very difficult for people not to like a landscape.
"They also don't point to one particular ceremony."
The new law comes into effect on December 5, and the first partnership formations will take place on December 21.
The partnerships are, according to the Act, a completely new legal relationship for same-sex couples, and are distinct from marriage.
They do not involve a religious ceremony, but they do allow couples similar legal rights to married couples.
Mrs Taubman said: "We are looking forward to starting the civil partnerships. People have been waiting for a long time for this.
"We have done 65 same-sex commitment ceremonies up to now, but a lot of people are holding back for the legal gains."
The officers said they were hoping older couples, even those who preferred to keep their relationship private, would consider the ceremony for the legal rights it brought.
These included joint treatment for income-related benefits, joint state pensions and the right to a survivor pension, the right to register a partner's death, bereavement and compensation benefits, and inheritance rights.
