We’re thrilled to announce that V&A Dundee, Scotland’s design museum, has hit an incredible milestone – two million visitors since the grand opening in September 2018!
On May 23, 2024, Jenny Gaskell from Ayrshire became the two millionth visitor. She was welcomed with a gift bag filled with Scottish-designed products from the shop, a £100 Dundee Loves Local gift card, and tickets to the new major exhibition, Kimono: Kyoto to Catwalk.
Director Leonie Bell and Councillor Steven Rome were there to celebrate this special occasion with Jenny, marking a proud moment for the museum amidst the challenges of the past few years.
