Creating V&A Dundee

Find out more about how V&A Dundee developed, from designing the building to our programme of events that took place before opening.

Our building

V&A Dundee was designed by renowned award-winning Japanese architects Kengo Kuma & Associates and our extraordinary three-storey building is itself a testament to great design.

Past outreach and exhibitions

We have done loads of projects around Scotland on our journey towards opening V&A Dundee. Find out more about how we got to where we are by browsing some of the amazing things we've done.
