New Dundee Victoria and Albert Museum

Dundee’s waterfront is going to be transformed and the public are invited to take part in the transformation.

The new £47 million museum will be built close to Discovery Point in the south of Craig Harbour and is due to open in 2014 as a centre of 21st Century design.

Six world-class architects have put forward six outstanding ideas for the new landmark building that will house the V&A at Dundee and dominate the Dundee waterfront. Models and descriptions of each design will be on display at this exhibition where you will have the opportunity to get involved, put forward your views and say what you think.

The shortlisted firms are: Delugan Meissl Associated Architects; Kengo Kuma & Associates; REX; Snøhetta; Steven Holl Architects and Sutherland Hussey Architects
