                 Vision Takes Shape

                 V&A Dundee Museum of Design











                            fter years of planning and construction, the much-
                            anticipated V&A Dundee Museum of Design is finally
                            ready to welcome its first visitors. V&A Dundee is
               A founded by the Victoria and Albert Museum and
               designed by acclaimed Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. The building is
               Scotland’s first design museum and seeks to highlight the international
               importance of design, and at the same time present Scotland’s outstanding
               achievements in this field. The project, which took three and a half years
               to complete, stands at the center of a £1 billion transformation of the
               Dundee waterfront, once part of the city’s docklands.
