V&A Dundee is a striking museum of design located on the waterfront of Dundee, Scotland. Opened in 2018, it is the first V&A museum outside of London, symbolizing Dundee's transformation into a hub of cultural and creative industries. Designed by renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, the building resembles a ship's prow, a nod to the city's maritime heritage. Its exterior is made of 2,500 stone panels that mimic the rugged cliffs of Scotland's coastline.
Inside, the museum houses a diverse collection that celebrates Scottish design, from traditional crafts to cutting-edge innovations. Highlights include Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Oak Room, meticulously restored and on display for the first time in over 50 years. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions and events, drawing visitors from around the world. Its location on the River Tay offers scenic views and is part of a larger waterfront regeneration project, making it a key attraction in Dundee's cultural landscape.
