Still with us? Fancy a look at our exhibitions? First up: the Scottish Design Galleries! A sign in natural wood that reads The inside of V&A Dundee's Scottish Design Galleries, showing tables and cases and wall cases full of amazing objects.A long corridor-like section of the Scottish Design Galleries with concrete tabletops running alongside its left hand side and with pictures and prints mounted on the right hand wall.A Jaguar car in the upper hall of V&A Dundee, showing different stages of design and development. Half the car looks normal, but the back half is made of clay.
Our permanent galleries explore the little-known stories of Scottish design with international impact, from architecture to fashion, healthcare to furniture, and engineering to video game design.
At the heart of these galleries, and our whole museum, sits Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Oak Room. We're so lucky to have this amazing interior and can't wait for you to step inside!

The Oak Room has been meticulously restored, conserved and reconstructed through a partnership between us, @GlasgowMuseums and @DundeeCouncil 💜
Now let's dive into our first changing exhibition, Ocean Liners: Speed and Style 🛳️🍾💼⛓️🛠️💃🏽🗺️🧭 It's on until the end of February!

Then we have our Michelin Design Gallery, an agile, responsive programme of dynamic and challenging projects. Our first one is all about our fantastic national #VADrelay project! V&A Dundee's Michelin Design Gallery, showing the Scottish Design Relay exhibition with people standing around the display and reading the signs, looking at the prototypes.
Our exhibitions are complemented by exciting new commissions. When you visit, you'll see 'This, looped' by Ciara Phillips and 'Plain and Ornamental of Every Description' by Maeve Redmond. This, looped by Ciara Phillips. This visually striking artwork champions the often-unseen process of making by evoking a moment suspended in time where vital decisions about materials and their composition are made.Graphic designer and Glasgow School of Art graduate Maeve Redmond's work 'Plain and Ornamental of Every Description' is a compelling piece of graphic design, that unpacks the wider context around one object on display in the gallery, a 19th century trade catalogue by cast iron manufacturers Walter MacFarlane & Co.
We hope you enjoyed our whistle-stop tour around the inside of our new museum. We need a lie down now... Come visit soon and see it for yourself! 🎉
