V&A Dundee, National museum on the waterfront in Dundee, Scotland.
The building structure extends over the River Tay with angular walls that mirror the shapes of Scottish cliffs, creating a connection between land and water.
Architect Kengo Kuma designed this first design museum in Scotland, which initiated operations on September 15, 2018 as part of the Dundee waterfront renovation.
The Scottish Design Galleries contain exhibits from the Victorian era to current times, displaying furniture, textiles, engineering, and digital innovations from local creators.
Visitors can access the museum daily between 10:00 and 17:00, with free general admission and additional charges for specific temporary exhibitions.
The exterior walls incorporate 2,500 pre-cast concrete panels, each weighing up to 3000 kg and positioned at varying angles to create complex geometric patterns.
