V&A Dundee museum is a brand new international centre of design, with an extensive showcase of Scottish creativity and captivating collections from around the world.

As Scotland’s first design museum, V&A Dundee tells a global story, investigating the international importance of design alongside presenting Scotland’s outstanding design achievements. The construction and fit-out took three and a half years to complete and stands at the centre of the £1 billion transformation of the Dundee waterfront, achieving more than 27,000 visitors in its opening week.
