Construction of the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in the Scottish city of Dundee is on track for completion early next year. It will be the first satellite site for the iconic London museum, which is the world’s largest trove of decorative arts and design with a permanent collection of over 4.5 million objects.
Unlike the rarefied London original, the new Dundee facility will be modern in style and is architect Kenzo Kuma’s first British design and build. It will showcase world-class touring exhibitions from the V&A and have the only purpose-built galleries in Scotland large enough to exhibit these shows in their entirety.
