🔆McManus Art Gallery and Museum has been the center of Dundee's art and culture since 1867. The entire building is very spectacular, in the Gothic Revival style. The architect is George Gilbert Scott, a medieval church restoration expert and a supporter of Gothic architecture.
🔆The museum has eight exhibition halls displaying stunning art and historical exhibitions, especially like the ship models inside, which are extremely delicate and realistic.

🎀 Dundee is a historic city with over 800 years of history. The modern art center of the University of Dundee and the National Theatre are part of the city, and the main campus of the university is located in the best location of the city's new cultural square, just a 5-minute walk from the train station. There are trains to London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen every day. It takes about an hour and a half to drive to several cities such as Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Aberdeen.
🎀 Dundee is also a city full of cultural atmosphere. There are many art and historical works presented by the Dundee Theatre, Dundee Contemporary Art Center, and McManus Gallery. A new e-sports arena is also being built on the banks of the Tay River.
🎀 The V&A Museum Dundee branch is the first branch outside London (Figure 2️⃣3️⃣), which opened on September 15, 2018, and is also the first British museum designed by famous Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. The appearance of V&A Dundee is both primitive and technological, with rich angular layers. It looks like a big ship docked on the river bank from a distance, and the interior is full of oriental charm. There are currently very few permanent exhibitions in the museum, not as good as the main museum in London, but it holds two very good special exhibitions every year. In addition, the scenery is beautiful, and many people go directly to the terrace inside to sunbathe and watch the sea view. 'Promote city development with the power of the museum', Dundee city aims to achieve a perfect transformation through this.
