V&A at Dundee

The main function of the V&A at Dundee will be to showcase Scottish design talent, provide a UK base for major international touring exhibitions, and promote a wider understanding and application of design.

Scottish Design

Dedicated gallery space will focus on 20th and 21st century design, which will illustrate how design changes to meet the demands of tomorrow's society. A Design Scotland gallery will be committed to showcasing Scottish talent and the impact of Scotland in contemporary design. Together, the galleries will show and explain beautiful and useful objects, and illustrate how they were created from initial spark to final product.

International Design

The building's galleries will house major touring exhibitions from the V&A - the world's leading museum of art and design - as well as from other international museums and galleries, placing Dundee and Scotland on the world stage as an essential design destination.

Design in Action

Complementing the galleries will be a major space devoted to "design in action" where visitors will be able to interact with design. This will incorporate activities and events for everyone from design professionals to the casual visitor.

Social Design

The V&A at Dundee will also be a place to meet, relax, eat and shop.
 

Exhibition

Six world-class architects have put forward six outstanding ideas for the new landmark building that will house the V&A at Dundee and transform the Dundee waterfront. Models and descriptions of each design will be on display at this exhibition where you will have the opportunity to get involved, put forward your views and tell us what you think.
