About

A world‑class design museum that celebrates creativity, innovation, and the power of design to shape everyday life. Opened in September 2018, V&A Dundee sits on Dundee’s waterfront and features a striking Kengo Kuma‑designed building that has been praised for its airy, ‘living room’ ambience. Visitors can explore the Scottish Design Galleries, the historic Oak Room, and a range of temporary exhibitions, many of which are free to enter. The museum also offers free admission to all visitors, with only a paid entry required for special events or exhibitions. Soft‑spoken yet inspiring, V&A Dundee is a must‑visit destination that blends contemporary design with heritage, making it an ideal stop for families, design enthusiasts, and anyone looking to experience Scotland’s growing creative scene.
