Came to Dundee for a relaxing anniversary getaway and had an absolute blast at the V&A. Such a beautiful building inside and out with a really rich history for how young it is. We had a quick lunch a… Full review by Ewan L
Could someone please open up a separate review section for the cafe/restaurant so as to distinguish those from the Museum as a whole? Most of the 4 and 5 star reviews consist of people commenting on the catering, whereas the 1-3 star reviews tend to be about the Museum element. Its confusing to conflate the two.
A:
I agree,the cafe should be kept separate as whatever score the elements get reflects on the establishment as a whole.
why not just advertise it as a restaurant with some museumy bits from the rest of scotland. pathetic advert for dundee
A:
It may not be everything you might want as a positive promotion for your home city but as a visitor to Dundee we found it to be an inspirational, engaging and enjoyable attraction.
Why is the content of the museum so poor. It’s an absolute disgrace that all the money and publicity put towards this fabulously iconic building yet the content is just not worth the tome of day
A:
Im with you on this one, im amazed there are any positive comments on the place!! They must be left by the council staff !! Lol l, defo dont come to see this waste of space on its own!!!
Reading an article from the Dundee Courier in which it says, “Galleries one and two which will host exhibitions provided by the V&A for the first two years”, does that mean the VandA will stop providing exhibits after this period?
A:
Hopefully, it can then launch it’s own exhibitions because Its woefully inadequate at the moment. Floor space taken up by poor cafe and shop that could be used to exhibit so much …
Hopefully, it can then launch it’s own exhibitions because Its woefully inadequate at the moment. Floor space taken up by poor cafe and shop that could be used to exhibit so much more. One of the most disappointing museums ever. Beautiful building but lacking in content inside.
